Prediction

Padres 7, Diamondbacks 4

Money line (ML)

The Diamondbacks won the first game of the series but are only 14-41 on the road this season. They haven’t won two games in a road series since they took two of three in Atlanta April 23-25.

Only the Chicago White Sox have more home wins than the Padres’ 36 at Petco Park, although they are 3-4 in their last seven games there.

Picking the Padres to win is easy but at -320, there are much better bets to make. PASS and look to the spread and the total.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

In addition to having the second-fewest road wins the Diamondbacks have the fifth-worst road cover percentage, although they have covered the spread in four of their last five road contests.

The Padres’ last five wins have been by at least 2 runs. In their six wins over the Diamondbacks this season, four have been by at least 2 runs.

Take the PADRES -1.5 (-140).

Over/Under (O/U)

Six of the 10 games between the two teams this season have had totals of 9 or more runs.

Considering the ERA of both pitchers over their last few starts (Widener 10.66 in his last three and Darvish 7.36 in his last five), we can expect some runs on the board.

Take OVER 8.5 (-102).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Even with the win and the cover Saturday, only one team in the majors has a lower road cover percentage than Arizona’s 40.5%.

Take the PADRES -1.5 (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

Seven of the last nine games at Petco Park went Over the projected total. However, Gallen appears to be back on track with his pitching and Darvish has only a 2.50 ERA.

Expect a low-scoring game in this getaway game. Take UNDER 7 (+100).

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

The Arizona Diamondbacks (21-56) take on the San Diego Padres (46-32) in the second game of their three-game series Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Diamondbacks road cover percentage of 39.0% is the second-lowest in the majors, and they’re 3-6 ATS in their last nine games. Kelly was great in his last outing but it was against a Brewers team that bats only .221 away from home.

The Padres have covered the spread in seven of their eight-game win streak. They are 23-20 ATS at home.

Take the PADRES -1.5 (-135).

Over/Under (O/U)

Only 46.5% of the games at Petco Park have hit the Over this season.

Five of Dinelson’s eight starts have had totals of seven or fewer runs.

Both Kelly and Dinelson are coming off their best starts of the season, so don’t expect a ton of runs.

Take UNDER 7.5 (-110).

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (0-3) and San Diego Padres (3-0) close out a four-game series Sunday at 4:10 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Taylor Widener takes the ball for the Diamondbacks. A year ago, he went 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 9.9 K/9, and 5.4 BB/9 in 20 IP over 12 relief appearances. Widener was stretched out as a starter in spring training. He finished the Cactus League with a 3.68 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 14 2/3 innings.

RHP Chris Paddack is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. In 2020, he went 4-5 with a 4.73 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 8.8 K/9, and 1.8 BB/9 in 59 IP over 12 starts. Current Arizona batters own an aggregate .555 OPS against the 25-year-old righty.

  • Money line: Diamondbacks +180 (bet $100 to win $180) | Padres -225 (bet $225 to win $100)

  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Padres 4, Diamondbacks 3

Money line (ML)

San Diego went 31-16 against under-.500 teams in 2020. The Friars have a versatile top-10 offense, and its one that figures to be at its best against right-handers.

The Snakes have had their struggles against Paddack. The Friars hurler was undone by a high rate of fly balls leaving the yard a year ago. Advanced-analytic ERA measures are kinder to Paddack than the 4.73 surface mark he posted in 2020. The last five times San Diego had two-game win streaks last season, it turned them into three-game win streaks.

Take the PADRES -225.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS in this wind-in, pitcher’s park game with Paddack being a starter whose skills outpace his stats.

Over/Under (O/U)

The forecast calls for a 10-mile-an-hour breeze in the hitters’ faces. Peg this one as a get-away-day six-or-seven-run contest.

Take UNDER 9 (-115).
