On the road, the D-Backs have really struggled. They are 5-8 thanks to a .228 batting average and only 3.8 runs per game. The hope for them here is that they are facing an awful Padres lineup. The Padres average only 2.5 runs per game at home and 2.4 per game vs. LHP. That could spell trouble vs. Joe Saunders who owns a 2.25 road ERA. Since last season, Saunders is 13-3 UNDER in games with a line of +125 to -125. San Diego is 71-47 UNDER overall the past three seasons to a total under 9. In their last 27 home games vs. LHP, the Pads are 20-7-1 UNDER. I expect this to be a low-scoring game.
