The pesky San Diego Padres took game 1 of a 3-game set from the Arizona Diamondbacks last night but tonight Arizona should get back in the win column because of a major pitching mismatch. The Padres are expected to send the lefty, Travis Wood, to the hill and he has been downright terrible. Wood is 0-2 in his last 3 outings, with a bloated ERA of 15.58, a 3.23 WHIP, and with numbers like that, how is this guy still in the Bigs? Zack Godley is expected to take the hill for Arizona. Godley has been delivering, with a record of 2-0 in his last 3 turns, posting an ERA of 1.29 and a WHIP of just 0.86. Arizona has been feasting on southpaws. The Diamondbacks are 10-1 in their last 11 games against southies.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
