Arizona vs San Diego Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks are currently fourth in the NL West but are hopeful to make a strong push as they welcome back star player Corbin Carroll from the IL. Carroll, an All-Star reserve this season, missed ten games with a wrist injury but will be playing in the upcoming series against the Padres. He typically serves as the leadoff hitter in the lineup. The team recently lost two out of three games at home against the Royals, with their last game resulting in just three hits.

The Diamondbacks have three position players representing the team in the All-Star Game, with Ketel Marte starting at second base and Corbin Carroll and Eugenio Suarez coming off the bench. Suarez, the team's most productive hitter, leads with 28 home runs and 73 RBIs while typically batting fifth in the order. Corbin Carroll, with 20 home runs and 44 RBIs, will return to the lineup, while Ketel Marte, with 19 home runs and 40 RBIs, will bat second.

Zac Gallen, a 29-year-old right-hander, will be making his 19th start of the season with a record of 6-9. The team has won three of his last four starts. Gallen boasts a 5.45 ERA with 98 strikeouts and 42 walks. In his most recent start, he allowed only one earned run over seven innings in a win against the Giants.

With a power ranking of 4, Arizona is ranked 3 in offense, averaging 5.18 runs per game, and #26 in defense, allowing an average of 5.13 runs against them per game. They currently hold a 44-46 record for the season.

San Diego Padres Analysis

The San Diego Padres are currently in a tight race in the competitive NL West division, trailing the first-place Dodgers by 7.5 games. They are tied for second in the division with the Giants and also tied for the final Wild Card spot in the National League. In their recent game against the Rangers, despite a solid performance by Jake Cronenworth, the Padres fell short at home. Cronenworth, a versatile player who has been lining up at first base, is in his sixth season with the team. The Padres will be represented by Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. at the upcoming All-Star Game. Machado, who leads the team in batting average, has 14 home runs and 52 RBIs on the season. Tatis, the team's leadoff hitter, leads in home runs and stolen bases. The pitching staff is anchored by Nick Pivetta, who has a 9-2 record and a 3.25 ERA. The team has a power ranking of 20 and ranks #23 for offense and #8 for defense. Their overall record stands at 48-41, and they recently went 1-2 in a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

San Diego Padres Look to Continue Dominance in NL West Against Arizona Diamondbacks

The San Diego Padres currently hold the superior record in the NL West and are seeking redemption after losing two out of three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier in the season. Nick Pivetta, who boasts an impressive 9-2 record this season, will be taking the mound for the Padres. Pivetta has been in exceptional form, allowing only one earned run in his last 13 innings pitched. His standout performance includes a game against the Nationals where he struck out ten batters and only surrendered three hits in a low-scoring victory. On the opposing side, Zac Gallen of the Diamondbacks struggled in his recent outing against the Rockies, giving up ten hits. With Corbin Carroll not yet fully recovered, the Padres' potent offense is predicted to prevail in Monday night's home game. A victory for the Padres seems likely in this matchup.
