Sean Zerillo’s Padres vs Diamondbacks Preview
Padres starter Yu Darvish is rounding into form (3.81 xERA, 3.22 botERA) for the pitcher-needy Padres. His command took a few starts to return, but he shoved in his most recent outing (7 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 7 K, 115 Pitching+).
The Padres’ bullpen has silly elite potential. They ranked among the top-six MLB relief corps in xFIP and strikeout minus walk rate, and then added flamethrowing closer Mason Miller.
Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson is an underrated mid-rotation starter (3.20 ERA, 4.06 xERA, 108 Stuff+, 106 Pitching+).
However, the Diamondbacks’ lineup is worse without Josh Naylor or Eugenio Suarez (73 wRC+ over the past fortnight, last).
I project the total at 8.4.
Pick: Under 9 (+100 | Play to -105)
