Our Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The outcome of this game, to a point, depends on the kind of stuff Yu Darvish will have in his first start of the season. If he can work out the kinks early, he’ll do fine, and the Padres will win this one easily. If he struggles, the Padres will just put their bullpen to work (No. 3 ERA in the league, 3.25). San Diego has struggled to generate offense, but their lineup should be able to get something going with Gallen on the mound.
