Diamondbacks at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Diamondbacks 4

Money line

The Padres get to turn to Darvish in the series finale. He has dominated the Diamondbacks in 2022 and has been effective in his career against them.

Henry was knocked around in his last start against the Phillies.

While Arizona has played better recently, the D-backs are 28-36 on the road this season and are 25-40 against teams with winning records.

Their best chance to pick up a series win was Tuesday night with Merrill Kelly starting.

But with the price on Wednesday’s money line for the Padres, PASS and look to the spread and total for your bets.

Run line/Against the spread

The Padres are the league’s worst team at covering the spread at home this season at 21-44 ATS. They have failed to cover the spread in either of the first 2 games of the series.

However, 7 of the Padres’ 10 wins over the Diamondbacks have been by 2 or more runs.

The Diamondbacks are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games and 80-55 ATS overall this season, but they have had ATS sweeps only 4 times all season and Darvish is one of the less likely pitchers to do it against, based on their performance against him this year.

Take the PADRES -1.5 (+100).

Over/Under

Nine of the 14 game between the 2 teams have had totals of 7 or fewer runs. The Diamondbacks have had totals of 7 or fewer runs in 4 of their last 6 games while 11 of Arizona’s last 16 have had 8 or more runs.

Five of the Padres’ last 6 have had 8 or more runs.

Five of Henry’s 6 starts have had totals of 8 or more runs.

Take OVER 7.5 (-130).

Diamondbacks at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Padres 3

Money line

The Diamondbacks have been playing good baseball and have been getting great outings from their starters. Kelly didn’t allow a run in his last start and their starters have not allowed a run in their last 2 games. Arizona is 9-2 in its last 11 games.

The Padres have been consistently good when Musgrove pitches.

In a game where the final outcome could go either way because of good pitching, take the value here. BET the DIAMONDBACKS (+140).

Run line/Against the spread

The Padres have baseball’s worst home ATS record at 21-43 ATS.

The Diamondbacks are 39-24 ATS on the road this season, the 4th-best mark in all of baseball. They are 79-55 ATS overall this season, the 3rd-best mark in the league.

This one is probably the surer bet but pays out less. If you aren’t as confident with the money line, take the DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-160).

Over/Under

Nine of the 13 games between these teams have had 7 or fewer total runs.

Four of the Diamondbacks’ last 5 games have had 7 or fewer runs.

Take UNDER 7.5 (-140).

All 8 of their wins over the Padres have been by at least 2 runs.

They are 80-50 ATS overall this season, the 2nd-best mark in baseball, and 39-22 ATS at home, also the 2nd-best mark.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Giants 3

Money line

The Giants are a lean in a vacuum with this pricing. However, they are 2-10 with a .589 OPS in their last dozen games. San Francisco is also tougher against left-handers (.745 OPS) than right-handers (.687).

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Worth a LINE WATCH due to some San Diego bullpen fatigue. Take the Giants +1.5 if you can get them at -140 or better.

Over/Under

We’ve seen some baked-in Under to this match-up but have been cautious to dive in due to pricing. That changes for this Wednesday matinee.

Both starters have good numbers against the batters they’ll see tonight. Wood, in particular, has significantly better expected-ERA figures. On a cool day in pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 7.5 (-112). Go in with full ammunition at -105 or better.

The Giants have lost 5 straight games, and their pitching has been beaten up in the process. San Francisco owns a bloated 6.59 ERA over that span. The Giants have gone 10-15 with a 4.62 ERA in August.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Giants 3

Money line

Snell has allowed 1 or 0 runs in 5 of his last 7 starts. The San Francisco offense is prone to long batting slumps and may be in one now.

TAKE SAN DIEGO (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

The Friars have the better bullpen, but the back end of that ‘pen is caution-flag fatigue territory. It’d be wise to AVOID the run line in taking the road favorite with a low total.

Over/Under

Both starters have good numbers against the batters they’ll see tonight. The Under 7.5 is the play … but only up to -120. PASS otherwise.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Padres 3

Money line

Peg Mike Clevinger as being too far out over his skis with his surface line. Clevinger has benefited from a .249 batting average on balls in play and he’s been fortunate with a high left-on base rate also.

The Giants are just 4 for their last 35 (.114 BA) with runners in scoring position.

Look for a bounce-back: take the GIANTS (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

Both teams tend to play more 1-run games than the average club, so there is some risk on this GIANTS -1.5 (+165) play. However, the price is attractive so some bettors may want to include this play in a smaller dose alongside the above ML.

Over/Under

These offenses both have an Under lean, but before unleashing a play, it’d be best to find a game where both starters do also. That’s not the case here with a suspect Clevinger line.

AVOID.

Cleveland Guardians at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Cleveland Guardians at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Cleveland Guardians (65-56) and the San Diego Padres (68-57) wrap up a 2-game interleague series at Petco Park. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Guardians vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Guardians lead 2-1

The Guardians registered a 3-1 victory in the series opener Tuesday as the bullpen pitched 4 1/3-scoreless IP of relief to help the visitors to the win. Cleveland looks to continue its success against left-handed starting pitchers, going 6-1 in the past 7 tries against southpaws.

The Padres have really struggled scoring runs, totaling just 9 runs in the past five outings, going 2-3 during the span. Luckily the pitching staff has done a good job giving the team a chance, allowing 3 or fewer runs in 4 of the past 5 contests.

Guardians at Padres projected starters

RHP Cal Quantrill vs. LHP Blake Snell

Quantrill (9-5, 3.77 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 5.8 K/9 in 136 IP.

  • Is 6-0 at home, but just 3-5 with a 4.34 ERA and .287 opponent batting average across 56 IP in 10 road starts.
  • Has posted a 4-2 record with a 2.98 ERA across 48 1/3 IP in 8 daytime starts.

Snell (5-6, 3.76 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 12.0 K/9 in 83 2/3 IP.

Guardians at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 3, Guardians 2

Money line

The PADRES (-175) are moderate favorites, and they’re a tad risky given the fact the offense has managed just 1.8 runs per game across the past 5 contests. This team has really missed the big bat of SS Fernando Tatis Jr., suspended earlier this month by MLB after testing positive for a banned substance.

Still, San Diego should do enough to scratch out a win and salvage a split.

Run line/Against the spread

The price for the GUARDIANS +1.5 (-150) is not out of line. Cleveland will get a good effort from Quantrill, and this team has been red-hot against left-handed starting pitchers. Don’t expect the Guardians to be fazed by the southpaw Snell. Still, I expect the Padres to do enough to grab the 1-run win.

Over/Under

The UNDER 7.5 (-110) cashed in Tuesday’s outing, and you can expect another similar result with runs at a premium.

The Under is 9-1-1 in the past 11 for Cleveland after a win, and 7-1 in the past 8 against teams with a winning overall record.

The Under has connected in 8 of the past 10 games overall for the Padres, while cashing in 4 of the past 5 at Petco.

Cleveland Guardians at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Cleveland Guardians at Sn Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Cleveland Guardians (64-56) and the San Diego Padres (68-56) open a 2-game interleague set at Petco Park. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Guardians vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Series tied 1-1

The Guardians will be rested, as Sunday’s series finale against the Chicago White Sox was rained out, and the team had a scheduled day off Monday. They haven’t scored since Friday, too, after being shut out 2-0 by Chicago  Saturday.

The Padres have really struggled to score runs lately, going just 3-4 in the last 7 games while scoring 3 or fewer runs in 6 of those outings.

Guardians at Padres projected starters

RHP Aaron Civale vs. RHP Mike Clevenger

Civale (2-5, 5.63 ERA) makes his 15th start. He has a 1.34 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 9.3 K/9 in 64 IP.

  • In 7 road starts this season he’s a dismal 0-2 with a 7.26 ERA and .305 opponent batting average in 31 IP
  • Has faced just 1 NL team this season, allowing 4 R (3 ER) in 4 IP in April 17 loss against the San Francisco Giants

Clevenger (4-4, 3.63 ERA) makes his 15th start and 16th appearance overall. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 74 1/3 IP.

  • Has managed a 1-2 record in 5 home starts with a 2.96 ERA and 28 K in 27 1/3 IP

Guardians at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Guardians 2

Money line

The PADRES (-160) are worth a play as moderate favorites against the Guardians (+130). These teams squared off in Cleveland back in early May, splitting a double dip. The teams each scored 10 runs in the 2-game set, so expect to sweat before cashing your winner.

Run line/Against the spread

Take the PADRES -1.5 (+133) on the run line, but go lightly behind Clevenger. He’ll be amped up to face his former organization again, and the moribund San Diego offense should be able to scratch out a few runs against the very giving Civale.

Over/Under

The UNDER 10.5 (-102) is easily the best play on the board here.

The Under is 6-1 in Cleveland’s last 7 games against winning teams, while going 10-3-1 in the previous 14 games overall and 4-1-1 in the last 6 games on the road.

For the Padres, the Under has hit in 7 of the last 9 games overall, while going 6-2 in the last 8 against a right-handed starting pitcher.
