Arizona Diamondbacks
Buccholz was solid in his last outing as he was able to put in a quality start, but was tagged with his second loss of the season in a 0-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.
He went seven innings giving up eight hits and two earned runs while he struck out four and walked two.
In 64.0 innings of work this season, the veteran owns a mediocre 7.73 K/9, a solid 2.25 BB/9, a solid 0.98 HR/9, and a solid 82.6% LOB%.
The end-result is an excellent 2.67 ERA, but a 3.66 FIP meaning defense and luck have aided his ERA.

Arizona has played mediocre baseball in the past week winning three of their six contests.
During that span their lineup is slashing .249/.300/.468 to go with 25 extra-base hits and 25 RBI.
San Diego Padres
Nix was solid in his first start of the season as he put in a quality start and picked up his first win of his young career in a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
He pitched six scoreless-innings giving up just four hits while he struck out four and walked two.
In 52.2 innings down at Double-A this season, Nix posted a mediocre 7.01 K/9, a solid 1.54 BB/9, a solid 0.51 HR/9, and a solid 81.2% LOB%.
The end-result was a stellar 2.05 ERA and a higher 3.40 FIP.

Free Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres MLB Prediction: San Diego edges out Arizona at home
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Padres +118 & UNDER 9.5 Runs
Arizona doesn’t hit as well on the road, while San Diego has been going through a nice hitting spurt as of late.
It is hard to trust Nix in this spot after coming off of a quality start because he’s never experienced that in the Majors, but he should get run support from his lineup.
Buchholz is coming off of a quality start and has been solid, so it is odd to see such a low money line.
I’ll back the home team, while I expect this score to remain under the threshold.
