Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres Prediction: Expect a tough one from the two sides

MLB action moves to Chase Field for a game between the San Diego Padres and the Arizona Diamondbacks. We dive into the contest and provide well analyzed recommendations.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to come into this game as the underdog, but there is a lot riding on the home team, which has been doing quite well of late. After failing to win the first two games of their series against the Miami Marlins and only claiming victory in the third game, they performed well against the St. Louis Cardinals, taking the first two games of their series. However, now that they are back on their home field, we anticipate the Arizona Diamondbacks will go back to their winning ways, which will allow them to maintain their push for the playoffs.

The San Diego Padres have just one victory to their name, which came against the Atlanta Braves in their most recent series. The final score of that game was 1-0. Their first two series were both defeats, with scores of 0-2 and 1-8, respectively. The San Diego Padres have a record of 2-6 in their last eight games overall and 1-11 in their last 12 games played on Thursday. The total has gone under in five of the San Diego Padres' previous six games played away from home. Due to the fact that the away team has been performing poorly as a unit, there will be more expectations placed upon them to perform more effectively in this match.

It's tough to pick the Padres when they've scored a grand total of two runs in their previous four games, while the Diamondbacks keep offering good value as the underdogs. Therefore, there is no question that the Diamondbacks deserve this victory. Bets on under could be explored, as the Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to play solid defense against a weak visiting squad.
