They enter this game with a 45-30 record overall and have a road record of 24-14. This is the series opener of a 2-game series with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday and they had Monday off as a rest day. Their offense ranks 19th in the MLB with a .699 OPS. Yu Darvish was their starting pitcher on Sunday while Sean Manaea will be making his start in this game on Tuesday. He is 3-3 with a 3.87 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 1 homer, and 3 BB with 6 strikeouts on 4 hits through 6 innings played against the Arizona Diamondbacks. 

 

The Diamondbacks were on a 5 game losing streak before winning in their last game. They lost their last series against the Detroit Tigers 2-1 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 33-41 record overall and have a home record of 18-21. This is the series opener of a 2-game series with the Padres on Tuesday and they had Monday off as a rest day. Their offense ranks 27th in the MLB with a .672 OPS. Dallas Keuchel was on the mound on Sunday while Zac Gallen will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Tuesday. He is 4-2 with a 2.92 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 3 BB on 11 Ks with 5 hits through 6 IP against the San Diego Padres. 

The current betting odds have the Padres listed as a slight favorite here. They have not been playing well recently as they just lost their last series at home to the Phillies, losing 3 of those 4 games. They have been a much better team on the road though and an absolute cash cow as they are +10 units in their road games this season. The Diamondbacks have not been playing well recently, they just won their last game but they were almost swept by the Tigers in that series and their offense was nowhere to be found until the final game. They have Gallen starting here who has been having a great season but the Padres have some good batters on their team and they will find a way to get to him here. The Padres have Manaea starting here and he has not been great with a few bad starts this season but he has been getting better in his last few starts and should be able to shut down this weaker offense on the D-backs. The best way to place a bet here is on the Padres to win this game.

"Obviously, I felt terrible hitting him. I don't do that and he knows that. We've talked, we've handled it. He plays with a lot of passion and I can understand why he'd be upset. I'm just as upset as he is — I hit him. ... I just hope he recovers quickly and gets back out there and continues to compete." - Blake Snell on hitting Bryce Harper with a pitch after their loss against the Phillies on Saturday.

 

 

"For somebody who's won a Cy Young I was kind of thrilled to hear him say that because I knew he was ready for this challenge. It was nice to see Dallas get out there. He was attacking the zone ... I'm very pleased with what I saw, the preparation to command the baseball, throw it where he wants to." - Torey Lovullo after his team’s win against the Tigers on Sunday.
