Padres 6, Diamondbacks 2
Money line (ML)
The PADRES (-170) are a little on the expensive side, but they’re a great play behind Snell. He hasn’t allowed much against the Diamondbacks this season, and that’s not going to change in this one, either.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The PADRES -1.5 (+100) are an even better play at even money. They cashed against the Diamondbacks in Monday’s series-opening 7-5 win, pushing an insurance run across in the top of the ninth. It should be a little more comfortable of a winning margin in the middle game.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 8.5 (-122) failed to cash in the series opener, but is still 5-1-1 in the previous seven for San Diego inside the division. Plus, the Under has hit in each of Snell’s past three showings.
