San Diego Padres vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Dbacks are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Padres, and both teams are tied 2-2 in their last 4 meetings in Arizona. Under is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.

In this San Diego Padres vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -150 home favorites. The Padres have a better overall record, and both teams have very similar home/away splits. The bullpen differential is also huge, as the Padres have the third-best bullpen ERA, while the Dbacks are fourth to last, and Gallen has been terrible for most of the season, so the Dbacks are clearly overvalued in this spot. I don’t trust the Padres on the road, so instead I will take a look at the total, which is set at 9.5 runs. Bergert is looking sharp for the Padres, and Gallen has to bounce back sometime, as he has a good history against Padres bats. Yesterday’s game had 6 total runs, and I expect a low-scoring affair again today. Take the under 9.5 runs.
