Diamondbacks vs Padres Prediction
The Padres would be the play given the week they just had, but I’m looking at the over. Sears has been hittable all season, and he’s allowed 21 hits and 12 earned runs in his last 24.1 innings. Pfaadt has a 5.11 ERA and 1.31 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 16 hits and nine runs in his last 10 innings. These are two capable lineups and two pitchers that can get hit hard. I expect a double-digit run total. Give me the over.
