Laying road chalk isn't my favorite, but the Diamonbacks are simply the much better team here. Zack Godley should cruise through this Padres lineup in this pitching environment. The Padres rank 28th wRC+ vs. right-handed pitching and strikeout almost 26 percent of the time, the second worst mark in baseball. Look for Goldschmidt, Pollock and Souza to provide enough run support to get the win. Lay it.
This will be Zach Godley's third start of the season against San Diego, and if the first two are any indication, you should feel safe taking the Diamondbacks tonight. Godley's held San Diego to 3 runs over 11.1 innings, striking out 15 with only two walks. Arizona has won both starts, and I expect them to win a third Saturday.
Arizona has won Zack Godley's last three starts, with him allowing just three runs combined. Godley has faced the Padres twice this season, winning 3-1 in July and 6-2 in April. The first-place Diamondbacks have a three-game win streak going, while the Padres have lost five straight. Arizona is also a perfect 5-0 at Petco Park this season. Arizona keeps it rolling with another win Saturday.
