He has a record of 0-7 with an ERA of 5.85 and 43 strikeouts in 10 appearances versus the Padres in his career.

 

BETTING TRENDS

LA Padres are 9-0 SU in their last 9 games against Arizona.

LA Padres are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games on the road.

LA Padres are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Arizona.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Arizona's last 6 games against LA Padres.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Arizona's last 5 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Padres refused to slow it down even with having clinched the playoff berth and will go for another win by sending Blake Snell to the mound who has been pretty solid lately allowing 4 runs in 15 innings pitched. Madison Bumgarner will face the Padres who has lost twice against them this season. Both pitchers have struggled this season so I expect a high scoring and the best play is the over.

PICK: Over 8 (-110)
