The San Diego Padres come into this matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks, having lost five of their last eight. The Padres need to get their offense going, as they have scored three or fewer runs in five of their last seven games and they have lost six of their last seven games when scoring three or fewer runs. They will send Yu Darvish to the mound for today's start. He has posted a 7-8 record with a 3.80 ERA and 164 strikeouts this season. Against the D'backs in his career, he is 3-2 with a 3.88 ERA and 82 strikeouts.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are back to their losing ways and have lost five in a row. The Diamondbacks have been struggling on the mound, even when the offense produces, they struggle to win. They have lost five of their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Arizona will counter with Taylor Widener on the mound. So far this season, he has posted a 2-1 record with a 4.28 ERA and 64 strikeouts. He has allowed at least four earned runs in six of his last eight starts and has been hurt by the long ball giving up 12 home runs over that span. There is some value on the D'backs on the money-line but I will not get too greedy and take Arizona on the run-line at + money.

Play on Arizona. +1.5 runs and + money. This is a 5* play.
