Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres Prediction: Diamondbacks have our backing

On Sunday, Major League Baseball action moves to Chase Field, where the San Diego Padres take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. San Diego won game three by a score of 2-0 on Saturday to even the series at two wins apiece.

In Friday's blowout, the Arizona team scored seven runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Merrill Kelly pitched for the Diamondbacks on Saturday and went five innings and gave up four runs, two of which were earned, on five walks and three hits. However, Drey Jameson will pitch for the Diamondbacks in this match. In five games this year, Jameson has started two and gone with a 2.25 ERA. In 16 innings, he has struck out 15 times. Jameson has a perfect 5-0 record and an ERA of 1.79 in the nine games (six starts) he has played in. The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, are 10-4 against right-handed starts and 6-1 in the fourth game of a series.

The Padres won the first game of the series 7-5, but they lost 9-0 on Saturday. Two runs in the first and sixth innings helped San Diego win 5-3 on Saturday. In five innings, Joe Musgrove gave up three runs on seven hits and did not walk anyone. Overall, the Padres are 3-7 in their last 10 games, but in game four of a series, they are 6-1 in their last 7 games. The total has gone under in four of San Diego's last five road games.

In this game, we'll bet on the Diamondbacks. This season, Jameson has been pretty steady, but his last game against the Cardinals was bad. In 3.2 innings, he gave up two runs (one of which was earned) on three hits and four walks. If Jameson wants to win this match, he needs to tighten up even more than that. Darvish should also get off to a good start, so both of them should pitch well. Because of this, we think of a match as having as many innings as feasible.
