Randy Vasquez has been pitching some out of the bullpen recently, including 4.2 shutout innings against the Giants last week. He yielded one run on one hit in 2.2 innings in his last start earlier that week against the Marlins. This will be his first appearance against Arizona this year.

Padres vs. Diamondbacks Best MLB Prop Bets

Diamondbacks Best MLB Prop Bet

Eduardo Rodriguez UNDER 2.5 Earned Runs (-124)

As alluded to above, Rodriguez has been stellar in most of his starts in the last two months – and season as a whole, really.

Rodriguez has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts and 17 of 22 outings this season. Two of those five worst starts came all the way back in April.

Padres vs. Diamondbacks Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

Both of these teams have been up and down recently, but the pitching matchup heavily favors Arizona.

Eduardo Rodriguez threw eight shutout innings in Pittsburgh last timeout, and allowed two runs in six innings prior to that. On the flip side, Randy Vasquez has allowed 10 runs in 6.1 innings in his last two starts, and allowed six runs in nine innings in his previous two outings.

Furthermore, Arizona is 32-22 at home while San Diego is 26-30 on the road.

I’ll back the Diamondbacks as small home favorites tonight.

Pick: Diamondbacks -115
