Offensively, San Diego overpowers Arizona. The Diamondbacks rank 20th in runs per game, 28th in hits per game and allow the 6th most runs in the league. San Diego ranks 14th in runs per game, 14th in hits per game, and allow the 4th least hits per game.
The Padres have a much better bullpen than the Diamondbacks as well. I love San Diego tonight to win by two or more and cover the run line.
