Although the 2020 series is young, one of the biggest stories through two games is the effectiveness of San Diego’s starting pitching. The Padres are 2-0 after scoring 7-2 and 5-1 wins over Arizona.
Are the first two games in this series more about the Padres pitching or a lack of Arizona batting? Sunday’s total is just 8 even though we’re starting to get more into the middle of the rotation.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamodbacks have scattered just 12 hits over the two West Coast games in San Diego. Kole Calhoun did have a HR in the opener but otherwise this is looking like an Arizona team that is going to be very mediocre this year.
Arizona had posted some success against San Diego a year ago with an 11-8 record and a +28 run differential. The Padres making a managerial change seems to have reinvigorated the team – although it is early.
Arizona trots out Zac Gallen on Sunday after making just 8 starts a year ago. Gallen’s best outing of 2019 came against San Diego though when he allowed 1 hit over 7.0 IP on September 4th.
San Diego Padres
In a shortened season the Padres would love the momentum that comes with a season opening sweep of a division rival. San Diego has shown the offense by plating 12 runs in the first two games.
It was Eric Hosmer that fueled the season opening win with 6 RBI while Manny Machado and Wil Myers went yard to help San Diego to the victory on Saturday. The Padres have some potential on offense for 2020.
It will be up to Garrett Richards to deliver a third straight solid starting pitching performance vs. Arizona. Richards made just 3 starts a year ago after returning from Tommy John surgery.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Diamondbacks are 2-7 last 9 road games

Free Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres MLB Prediction:
It’s hard to fathom Arizona – 2nd place in the NL West last season – starting the year being swept. Gallen foiled the Padres a year ago and there’s a lot of questions surrounding SD’s Richards.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Diamondbacks +105
If Arizona drops this one they could be a team to fade consistently the next couple weeks.
