Predictions and Betting Preview for the Padres vs Diamondbacks MLB Regular Season Game on April 23, 2023
- Where: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
- When: Sunday, April 23, 2023, 4:10 PM E.T.
Betting on the San Diego Padres
- Regular Season Record: 10-12
The Padres celebrated Fernando Tatís Jr.’s return in style this week. The star Dominican player missed the entire 2022 season due to various injuries and subsequently a suspension for using banned substances.
Tatís Jr. has been batting leadoff, and he is expected to provide the offensive spark that the team desperately needs, as the team has not been hitting at the level expected of an offensive order composed of so many stars.
The Padres’ batting average is a collective .216, the third-worst in the MLB. Now, the team is relying on El Niño‘s return to turn things around. However, Manny Machado, Juan Soto, and Xander Bogaerts also need to step up their production.
“Our best hitters haven’t awakened yet, but I’m sure they will soon,” said manager Bob Melvin after losing 9-0 to the Diamondbacks on Friday.
Starting pitcher: Yu Darvish (0-2, 3.44 ERA).
Betting on the Arizona Diamondbacks
- Regular Season Record: 12-9
The Diamondbacks are ready to fight with the heavyweights, the Dodgers and the Padres, for the top spot in the division. Moreover, their performance at the beginning of the competition has been very promising, as they currently hold the first place.
A significant reason for Arizona’s success is the outstanding performance of their starting pitcher Zac Gallen. The right-hander has already pitched 21.2 scoreless innings, after blanking the Padres for seven innings on Friday night.
The home team has a collective batting average of .264, ranking fifth across the entire MLB. Many people would have bet that this team would outperform the Padres in hitting during the month of April.
Starting pitcher: Drey Jameson (2-0, 2.25 ERA).
JefeBet Prediction
The Padres have been a letdown so far, but it is hard to believe that the National League’s most star-studded lineup will stay asleep for much longer. Here at JefeBet, we believe that this Sunday, San Diego will come out on top with a solid offensive production and the support of Yu Darvish on the mound.
Prediction: San Diego Padres Runline (SD 7-2 ARI)
