As far as the Diamondbacks are concerned, there is little advantage to playing at anywhere but Chase Field in the Arizona desert. The D-Backs are one of the worst road teams in baseball, and they will be taking on one of the game's hottest home teams in the San Diego Padres. You can expect to see some fireworks occur as the D-Backs bring their above average hitting into San Diego against the phenomenal starting pitching that the Padres bring to the table. While it is expected that the game will be ultra competitive, bookmakersonlinebetting.com expects to see the Padres come out with the free bet win in this Sunday afternoon battle with Arizona.
The problems for the D-Backs begin and end with the starting pitching. While it is not what might be normally considered "terrible," it definitely could be much improved and more dominant over each start. None of the starters have ERAs under 4.00, as they continue to struggle with their location and velocity. Dan Haren has continued to struggle in his stint with the D-Backs, as he has just not been the same pitcher since he was traded to Arizona. Ian Kennedy has been the best pitcher for the Diamondbacks, but that is not saying much with his 4-7 record with a 4.12 ERA. While both of these individuals have high strikeout counts, they have also allowed a great deal of runs, which has cost Arizona a great deal in terms of wins and losses. Another free wager loss seems to be on the horizon when they play the San Diego Padres in this weekend series.
Unlike the D-Backs, the Padres starters have been the catalysts for San Diego's success so far this year. Latos, LeBlanc, Garland, and Clayton Richard are all having tremendous starts to their seasons, and each seems to be having no problem carrying the team on his back when it is their turn to take the mound. Latos, in particular, has been especially hot due to a great combination of having a live arm with the control that really allows him to take over a game. Adrian Gonzalez is treating National League pitching like it is batting practice with his 18 HR and 56 RBI. Gonzalez leads the Padres in almost every statistical category, in terms of hitting, and he is proving once again that he needs to be considered among the top players in the National League. You can expect Gonzalez to be ready to go for this Sunday home game, and it should be enough for San Diego to get the free bet win against Arizona .
While you can't fault the Arizona front office for the way they have put the team together, it is very noticeable that Arizona is not quite as skilled as most of their opponents. They will continue to struggle, especially against the awesome pitching that San Diego put onto the field on a game-by-game basis. There should be a great deal of betting action on this game, but in order to be on the free wager winning side, bookmakersonlinebetting.com is of the opinion that the Padres are the correct team to back.
