The Diamondbacks are currently 54-59, struggling to find their footing this season, while the Padres boast a solid 62-51 record, positioning themselves well above average. This matchup is particularly intriguing as it marks the third game of a series where the Diamondbacks will look to capitalize on their home advantage at Chase Field.<\/p>\n<p>In their last outing, the Diamondbacks faced the Padres and came up short, continuing their below-average streak. Arizona&#8217;s offense, ranking 4th best in MLB, will aim to exploit the struggles of Padres&#8217; pitcher Nestor Cortes, who has been less than stellar with a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">9.00<\/a> ERA this season. Cortes has struggled with walks, holding an 18.4% walk rate, which could play into the hands of the Diamondbacks, who rank 5th in MLB for drawing walks.<\/p>\n<p>On the mound for Arizona is Anthony DeSclafani, who has had a rough year with a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.91<\/a> ERA and a Power Ranking placing him 192nd among MLB starters. However, projections suggest he may have been unlucky this season, indicating potential for improvement. DeSclafani&#8217;s ability to limit runs will be crucial, especially facing a Padres offense that ranks 22nd in MLB, struggling to find consistent power with a 29th ranking in home runs.<\/p>\n<p>Given the contrasting strengths of the Diamondbacks&#8217; offense and the Padres&#8217; pitching woes, Arizona could pull off an upset, especially considering their high implied team total of 4.41 runs compared to the Padres&#8217; 5.09. With the game total set at a high 9.5 runs, fans can expect an engaging contest as both teams vie for a crucial win in this pivotal series.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">San Diego Padres Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Nestor Cortes &#8211; Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+120\/-155)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Nestor Cortes&#8217;s 92.1-mph fastball velocity since the start of last season grades out in the 23rd percentile out of all starting pitchers.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Jose Iglesias &#8211; Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145\/-190)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Jose Iglesias&#8217;s average exit velocity has fallen off this year; his 85.8-mph mark last year has dropped to 83-mph.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Jackson Merrill &#8211; Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-130\/+100)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Jackson Merrill hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (40.1% \u2014 97th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the league&#8217;s 3rd-deepest CF fences in today&#8217;s matchup.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> This player&#8217;s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he&#8217;s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Arizona Diamondbacks Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Anthony DeSclafani &#8211; Over\/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (+100\/-130)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Anthony DeSclafani to throw 76 pitches in this matchup (4th-least on the slate), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Blaze Alexander &#8211; Over\/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-175\/+135)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Extreme flyball batters like Blaze Alexander tend to perform better against extreme groundball pitchers like Nestor Cortes.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> This mostly has to do with the way the hitter&#8217;s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong><\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected batting order for the Arizona Diamondbacks today has an estimated true talent wOBA of .315, which is a fair amount lower than their actual wOBA of .329 this year.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality.
