What is the prediction for Diamondbacks vs Padres on Aug 5?

Not surprisingly, both teams have a similar home and away record. Arizona is 32-23 at home, while San Diego is 27-30 on the road.

Both teams are battling for a wild-card position in the National League.

Expected pitchers are:

San Diego:

RHP Casey Mize – 4-6, 2.70 ERA. He was recently acquired from Detroit.

Arizona:

LHP Mitch Bratt – 0-1, 5.23 ERA. Limited experience. High hit and walk rates.

Mize should be effective at keeping the Arizona bats relatively quiet. Bratt will be under pressure to improve on his record in a high-tension game.

The Diamondbacks are at home, but the Padres have been on a good run with strong bats, as seen in last night’s 9-4 win. These teams are almost neck-and-neck with two games left in their series, either to pull away or remain close.

Our Diamondbacks vs Padres prediction is another strong game for the Padres with an 8-6 win.
