Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres Betting Prediction
The Diamondbacks send LHP Madison Bumgarner to hill against San Diego’s 15th ranked scoring offense on Friday night (4.37 RSPG), who’s yielded a solid 3.65 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 18 starts this season; despite owning a lackluster 5-8 record on the year.
On the other hand, the Padres send RHP Yu Darvish to the mound against Arizona’s 21st ranked scoring offense tonight (4.20 RSPG), who’s also having a solid campaign sitting 7-4 with a 3.38 ERA across 16 starts, which already includes a pair of dominant outings against the D’Backs (13 IP, 1 ER).
I’ll back San Diego here, as Bumgarner is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA across three starts against the Padres this season (1.75 WHIP); setting the stage for a lopsided pitching matchup against Darvish, who’s 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA across his last two outings against Arizona (0.77 WHIP).
Score Prediction: Padres 7, Diamondbacks 2
Best Bet: Padres -1.5 (+110)
