SD Padres Win(+115)SD Padres @ ARI Diamondbacks

The Friday night slate takes us to the desert for our San Diego Padres vs Arizona Diamondbacks prediction. Both teams were off Thursday, so we should have fresh arms and full lineups tonight. The Padres lost 2 of 3 to the Dodgers earlier in the week, but they have been playing well otherwise. The D-Backs are wild and unpredictable to be exactly .500. They just swept the Mariners, but they were swept by the Reds before that, and they swept the Braves before that. Who knows what you get from them? But my Padres vs Diamondbacks best bet is the visitors on the money line, as this plus-money bet is too good to pass up.

The D-Backs are favored in this game for a couple of reasons: they are at home and they crush right-handed pitching. Still, I think the rest of the stats and trends should favor the Padres. Stephen Kolek has turned in consecutive scoreless outings, and while he almost certainly won’t continue that streak at Arizona, he is still better than Ryne Nelson. Nelson has spent most of the season on long relief duty, but he returned to the rotation after Corbin Burnes blew an elbow. Nelson is not good, and he was blasted for 7 runs in 3 innings vs the Reds last time out. Once the starters leave, the Padres boast the third-best bullpen ERA — almost 2 full runs better than the D-Backs, who are fourth worst in the league. If this is close in the last few innings, the Padres should take it. Can we get some late-inning magic one time for a plus-money win? That’s where I am living tonight.

Padres vs Diamondbacks prediction: San Diego ML (+115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

What Are Our MLB Best Bets

At Pickswise our expert handicappers spend hours analyzing each match of the MLB season, delving into the latest MLB statistics, team news, travel, schedule, weather, trends to name just a few angles we cover and consider.

With a typical MLB regular season containing a total of 2,430 games, researching this many games in the required depth is an exhaustive task. Our experts take care of all of that, so you don’t have to.

With a large number of games each day throughout the 2024 season and up to 15 matches on any given day (or sometimes more if there are doubleheaders), being selective in your wagers is key in trying to secure a long-term profit. That’s where our confidence ratings and MLB best bets come into play.

Our MLB Best bets are exactly what you would expect them to be, our top picks for today’s slate of games, with our reasoning and analysis for each MLB Best Bet alongside.

Where Should I Wager On Your MLB Best Bets Today?

MLB is one of the most popular sports that sports bettors place wagers on and as such, most online sportsbooks will offer competitive prices about a plethora of markets on each game.

While we preview every game of the MLB season from Opening Day through to the World Series, betting on every game is not recommended, with a betting strategy very much needed to see you turn a profit over the season.

A big part of this strategy is making sure you are wagering on our MLB Predictions at the best possible odds. With each sportsbook pricing up markets differently, be sure to shop around to make sure you are on our MLB Best Bets at the best odds available.

All of our MLB picks are accompanied by the best available odds and which online sportsbooks are offering them, as well as our detailed reasoning for the pick.

If you don’t yet have an account with one of the sportsbooks listed as having the best odds, why not check out our Sportsbook Bonuses Page to see the latest promo codes available in your state and get off to a flyer with a great sign up bonus.
