Sean Manaea is their starting pitcher on Tuesday while Mike Clevinger will be making his start in this game on Wednesday. He is 1-0 with a 3.52 ERA this season. His team won 5 of their last 6 games with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 1 earned run, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 3 strikeouts on 4 hits through 4 innings played against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

They enter this game with a 33-41 record overall and have a home record of 18-21. This is the 2nd game of a 2-game series with the Padres on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 27th in the MLB with a .672 OPS. Zac Gallen is on the mound on Tuesday while Madison Bumgarner will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Wednesday. He is 3-7 with a 3.75 ERA this season. His team lost 5 of their last 6 games with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 4 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB on 5 Ks with 9 hits through 4 IP against the San Diego Padres. 

The current betting odds have the Padres listed as a favorite in this game. They did not have a good series over the weekend as they lost 3 of their 4 games to the Phillies at home but the Padres have been a better team on the road this season and are up +10 units in all of their road games. They have Clevinger starting here who has been having a good season and has not allowed many runs in his starts. The Diamondbacks have Bumgarner starting here and he has been good this season but has been slipping up in his recent starts. He is responsible for 7 of the losses this season and he is coming off of another bad start where he allowed 4 runs in the game. The D-backs were just beaten in a series at home to the Tigers who have not been good on the road this season and their offense was very dead in 2 of those games. Clevinger should shut down their lineup here and this will turn into another road win for the Padres. 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.
