Our Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres Prediction
I’m not sure why the public is going so heavy on the Padres. Gallen has pitched much better than Marquez has this season overall, and the D-backs lineup is hitting well. San Diego’s lineup— not so much. For all their hits, Arizona is not scoring much more than San Diego, but they are scoring enough to win. The Diamondbacks lineup has hit .311 against Marquez in 148 at-bats with six home runs. Manny Machado has hit .371 against him with one home run and seven RBI.
