Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres Prediction
Don’t look now, but the Diamondbacks are coming off a series win against the Dodgers and have won four of their previous five games. Arizona is getting close to .500 after a slow start to the season. It won’t be easy for the snakes, they are going to have to face one of the hottest teams in baseball over the last few weeks.
If the Diamondbacks want to stay hot, they are going to have to pull off an upset on the road in the first game of this series with a starting pitching disadvantage. Slade Cecconi and his 5.81 ERA will be taking the mound for Arizona on Friday night, He has struggled at times this season, but Slade is actually coming off three solid appearances in a row. The 25 year old right-hander has nearly lowered his ERA an entire point in those three starts. I want to buy-low on the young righty to continue his solid stretch when the public least expects it…
Less than 40% of the bets and handle (on VSiN) are currently backing the Diamondbacks in this spot, but the moneyline odds have shifted nearly ten cents towards Arizona. This reverse line movement is a great sign for snakes backers, and this is a team I want to buy stock in as we approach the All Star break. This team went to the World Series last year, but has yet to put it all together until recently. Coming off an impressive series win in Los Angeles, now is the time to buy stock in Arizona.
The Padres have been one of the best teams in baseball, but if they were going to win tonight, they would be much heavier favorites at home against Cecconi. The fact that the odds on the moneyline in this game are now at a Pick ‘Em tells me the snakes stay hot, getting the first win in this series on the road. Fade the Padres, and back Arizona to carry their momentum from the Dodgers series to San Diego.
