San Diego at Arizona

This series reminds me of the movie, "Trading Places". It is exactly what has transpired for these clubs over the last year. San Diego took a shot at the Cinderella Slipper last year, while Arizona is trying to make it fit this year. Offensively and overall, life has not been kind to the D-Backs, losers of six of their last nine, producing just 2.4 runs per game during that stretch. The Padres have mysteriously played well on the road, just a single game under .500. They have won five of their last six overall, while scoring 5.6 runs per game during the stretch. San Diego comes into this one winners of six of their last eight after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game, while the D-Backs show just 0-4 at home the first game back after a 7-game road trip or longer. Play San Diego in this one.
