MLB - 913 Arizona Diamondbacks @ 914 San Diego Padres
(Starting Pitchers: T. Cahill vs E. Stults)
Arizona is coming for tonight's game without their coach who is suspended. San Diego is currently very confident, as they have just swept the Braves at home. Both teams had a day off yesterday, so they will be fresh for tonight's game. The Dbacks are starting Trevor Cahill, who has been struggling as of late. He has been struggling all season long on walking batters and his lack of a strikeout punch only worsens this issue with 3/1, 0/1, 4/2 and 0/1 K/BB ratios on his last four starts. Even considering the fact that he is a GB pitcher, he has allowed a one home run in three of these four games! He will now face the red hot Padres and I simply don't trust him right now!
On the other side, San Diego will start Eric Stults tonight and he is currently on a roll with 19 strikeouts and 0 walks on his last three starts! Note that his last two games were at LA against the Dodgers (good team vs LH pitchers) and at Colorado (hitter-friendly park), but Stults was still able to have quality outings! He has already faced Arizona this season and he wasn't impressive with four runs in 6.1 innings. Having in account that Arizona's offense is struggling more versus LH pitchers, I believe Stults will now have a much better outing against the Dbacks. If we combine this with the problems that Cahill will likely have tonight, I can only expect San Diego to pick up a comfortable home win tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 914 San Diego Padres ML (w/ E. Stults) @ -122 / 1.82 on Bovada
