Free MLB Pick
Neither team has been doing much winning as of late with the Padres winners of just one of their last six and the Diamondbacks getting the money in one of their last four. The big difference in this game is the recent pitching of Robbie Ray who has allowed a combined three runs in his last three starts covering 15 2/3 innings. He’s lost both of his career starts against San Diego with both coming this season, but he has pitched well enough to give his team a shot at victory allowing seven runs (5 earned) in 11 2/3 innings. Padres’ starter Andrew Cashner has made three starts against Arizona and two of three were Q starts but his recent form has been lukewarm at best. We’ll jump on the home side here against an uninterested visitor.
