The San Diego Padres will look to end their 4-game skid today and will turn to Garrett Richards to throw strikes when they conclude a 3-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the desert. Richards has had success against the Snakes in his career, posting a 2-0 record with a stingy 1.80 ERA. Arizona is expected to counter with Robbie Ray. Ray is off to a dismal start, at 1-2, with a bloated ERA of 10.59 and a 2.12 WHIP. The Friars might be 0-9 in their last 9 visits to Chase Field but trends end.
