With D-backs ace right-hander Gallen pitching very well lately, including six innings of shutout ball vs today's opponent, it would be tough to wager against him. It was his second shutout appearance in three starts. Arizona has won 4 of their last 5 after a woeful start to August. They are tough on lefties this year, and will face a struggling one today. Hill, who has had some good moments this year, has faltered as a Padre. Perhaps his age is showing as he has an 8.72 ERA over his last three games, with just one start of his last four reaching five innings. The Padres are 3-7 (L10), still aren't hitting up to expectations. (.251/.708 OPS L14 days), and aren't hitting right-handers well. The Arizona offense has surged to a .281/.845 line, good for fifth in the league over the last week. While I don't like the D-backs bullpen, Gallen gives them far more quality innings than Hill is likely to. Take the D-backs to take this one on the road.
