Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks are having a dreadful season this year and there is no sign that it will get any better. They are losers of 5 of their last 6 games.
This ball club is 21-55 and are last in the National League West. The Giants are a whopping 28 games ahead of them.

Merrill Kelly has not had a good year. He is 3-7 with a 5.06 ERA. His last start came against the Brewers on Monday and he was very good. He went 7 innings and allowed 1 earned run. Arizona won this game 5-1.
The pitching for this team has been terrible this year. They are 29th with a 5.29 ERA.
The offense for this team has been better. They are scoring 4.16 runs per game which is 19th best.
Ketel Marte is one of their better hitters and could potentially be dealt at the trade deadline.

San Diego Padres
The Padres have had an impressive year so far. They have been hot recently and won their last 7 games.
Their record is 45-32 and are 3rd in the National League West. The Giants are 4.5 games ahead of them.
This team just swept the Dodgers in 3 games. In those games, San Diego scored 14 runs and allowed 7. The Friars have played very well against the Dodgers this year. On Wednesday, they won 5-3.
Joe Musgrove was very effective against Los Angeles on Wednesday. He went 6 innings and allowed 1 earned runs.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets MLB Prediction:
I think the Padres will do well in this game. It is hard to have any faith betting the Diamondbacks given how bad they are.
These are 2 teams that are going in opposite directions. There is no excuse for San Diego to lose this game to the lowly snakes.
Dinelson Lamet is clearly the better pitcher than Merrill Kelly. I also like the fact that he is pitching at home. I believe that the Padres will be able to hit around Kelly and Lamet will pitch a solid game. I am all in on San Diego in this one.
I will lay the run line with the Padres.
