Padres vs Diamondbacks Prediction

The Diamondbacks are playing for a playoff spot while the Padres already punched their ticket. Soroka has been solid this season with a 3.31 ERA and 1.09 WHIP, and he’s allowed 7 hits and 5 earned runs in his last 16 innings. Vasquez is having a solid September as well, but over the season he’s been far more hittable with a 4.01 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. I’ll side with the Diamondbacks, who have the sharper pitcher on the mound and have more to play for at this point. Give me the road team.
