Padres vs. Diamondbacks MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Hill is 7-11 with a 5.09 ERA on the season and has only one win against the Diamondbacks in 13 career starts, posting an ugly 1-8 record with a 6.18 ERA. On the other side, Gallen is 11-5 with a 3.37 ERA on the year and 2-3 with a 3.70 ERA in 10 career starts against the Padres. But while the Diamondbacks have a clear edge in the pitching matchup, Arizona has also dropped nine straight games to fall 12.5 back of the first-place Dodgers. I’m not paying top dollar for a struggling team. Thus, give me the over. I don’t trust Hill or either bullpen.
