Arizona at San Diego

It is down to playing out the string for these two teams. The Padres were not expected to do well in the NL West, but have done a great job all season at home where they stand a more-than-competitive 38-35 for the season. The D-Backs have had a horrible season, and at 20 games under .500 there is nothing left to salvage. They certainly aren't disputing that statement with their recent play which includes one win in their last 10 games, and overall, just 4-16 on the road including getting swept at lowly Washington. The D-Backs have also turned sour against right-hand pitching at 3-13 in their last 16. They will go with Bucknor in this one, which has resulted in six straight losses in his last six starts. The Padres have been closing strong, and have won seven straight as a favorite and are also 6-1 in Correia's last seven starts. The Padres have also taken four of the last five between these two. I'll go with San Diego here.
