This series got underway Monday with the Padres winning 4-1. But let’s not forget that before that, San Diego was swept out in Colorado over the weekend. I think Arizona, who has the better starting pitcher going on Tuesday, is a great value.

It’s Zac Gallen going for the Diamondbacks here today. He’s got a 2.91 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. The team has won 8 of his 12 starts overall. This includes the last one where Gallen would go seven innings and allow just two runs. He only allowed two hits as well and issued no walks.

Starting for San Diego here will be Sean Manaea. He allowed five runs in his last start and that came against the Cubs, who are not good. Not only did Manaea last only four innings, but he gave up two home runs as well. I don’t think Manaea can be trusted as a favorite, even a small one.

Though they won yesterday, the big news for the Padres was losing Manny Machado to a sprained left ankle. The team hopes he won’t be out long-term, but he’s going to miss this game. Machado led not just the team in almost every offensive category, but all of baseball in both on base percentage and slugging.

Take the underdog here.
