Probable Pitcher:
Zach Davies (2-3, 3.78 ERA) will be on the mound for the Diamondbacks in the 1st game of the series. In a no-decision against the Reds on Tuesday, Davies surrendered six hits and struck out seven batters over seven shutout innings. He has a 5-0 record with an ERA of 2.89 and 32 strikeouts in 8 appearances versus the Padres in his career.
San Diego Padres

Joe Musgrove leads the pitching staff with a 1.59 ERA, 81 strikeouts and 8 wins recorded for the Padres.
Probable Pitcher:
Yu Darvish (6-3, 3.35 ERA) will start for the Padres in the 1st game of the series. Darvish struck out seven batters in eight innings of work against the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits. He has a record of 3-3 with an ERA of 4.07 and 88 strikeouts in 11 appearances versus the Diamondbacks in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Arizona's last 9 games on the road.
Arizona are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games when playing on the road against San Diego.
San Diego are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games at home.
San Diego are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games when playing at home against Arizona.
Prediction
The Padres struggled against the Rockies and will be without their All-Star Manny Machado who leads the team in home runs, RBI and batting average. Zach Davies hasn't lost a game against the Padres in his career with a 2.89 ERA. The Dbacks are 20-12 ATS in the road while the Padres are only 9-21 ATS at home. With Darvish on the mound for the Padres the Dbacks could struggle to find good offensive but Zach Davies will keep it close. Take the Dbacks to cover the run line.
PICK: Diamondbacks +1.5 (-145)
