Arizona at San Diego

Brandon Webb saw his scoreless inning streak come to a close in the first inning of his last start. It has been quite a run. He has pitched so well for so long, it is just not likely for any pitcher, of any ability, to keep putting up 0's on the scoreboard. San Diego is a team that can win without scoring much, because they have the top ranked bullpen in the NL. They have already posted five wins on the season in games where they have scored just 1 run, and have won 20 games on the season when they score 3 runs or less. Arizona had been on a 21-5 streak, but have since lost that many games in their last eight, so they are on a downward cycle. The Padres have now won 5 of 6, and are on an up-turn. Justin Germano started the season fast, hit a bump, and has now pitched well in his last four games. He is more than capable of winning a low scoring game. We like the Padres to make it two straight.
