The Diamondbacks have played well against San Diego this year.
San Diego Padres
The Padres got off to a very good start, but they have not been all that impressive as the season has gone on. They have played quite poorly in the months of July and August.
This team is in 3rd place of the National League West with a record of 69-62. They trail the Giants by 15.5 games.
San Diego split a 2 game series with the Angels before this series. In those games, the Padres scored 7 runs and allowed 10 runs. They did not play on Sunday.
Ryan Weathers went 3 innings and allowed 3 earned runs on on Saturday.
Blake Snell has not been the pitcher we have been used to seeing over the last multiple years. He is 6-5 with an ERA of 4.58. His last start was against the Dodgers where he went 7.2 innings and allowed 1 earned run. Los Angeles won that game 5-3.
For the most part, the pitching has been effective for this team. They have an ERA of 3.73 which is 8th best in the majors.
Their offense has also been good. They are scoring 4.60 runs per game which is 11th best in the league.
San Diego has hit 151 home runs which is 20th best in baseball.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks have had a terrible season, but for some reason they have played well against the Padres.
This squad is dead last in the National League West with a record of 44-88. They trail the Giants by 41 games.
Arizona lost to the Phillies 7-4 on Sunday. Philadelphia ended up taking 3 games out of 4 in that series. In those games, the Snakes scored 18 runs and allowed 28 runs.
Madison Bumgarner went 5 innings and allowed 5 earned runs on Sunday.
Zac Gallen is 2-7 with an ERA of 4.32. His last start was against the Phillies where he went 5 innings and did not allow an earned run. The D-Backs won that game 8-7.
The pitching has absolutely killed this team so far. They own an ERA of 5.19 which is 29th best in the league.

San Diego Padres vs. Arizona Diamondbacks MLB Prediction:
The Padres have not been playing well as of late. This series against Arizona is a good chance for them to get better.
San Diego is the better team, but they have not played well against the Diamondbacks. I think that will change and they will top Arizona in game 2.
I look for Snell to build off his last start and for the Friars to hit around Gallen.
I like the Padres on the moneyline in this one.
