It most certainly has been a rocky season for the San Diego Padres. This team has either been on fire or ice cold. The problem is that the flames haven't lasted long enough, and the frigid offense has prevailed far too often. The result is 11 games under .500, and after a good run, the offense is back in the deep freeze. The Padres have tallied a total of 11 runs in their last seven games, or just 1.57 per contest, and it's hard to trust a team to get it done when they just aren't swinging the bats. They have another problem with Ian Kennedy on the mound, as he has an ERA of over 5 on the season, winning just six times. The D-Backs have risen to the occasion, capturing six straight in game 3 of a series. Back Arizona in this one.
