The Arizona Diamondbacks take on the San Diego Padres at Chase Field on Thursday. In this National League West clash, the second-placed team faces the fourth-placed team. Only one of the remaining four teams in the NL West has a chance to qualify for the playoffs as the LA Dodgers have already clinched the division.
The Diamondbacks have had a decent outing so far having won 67 games at a win percentage of .472. Their overall record so far has been 67-75, putting them fourth in the NL West standings and 31 games back of the Dodgers. Their recent form hasn’t been great either. They’ve only won four of their last 10 fixtures. Their home record this season has been decent. They have gone 38-36 so far.
"POWER SERG." - DBacks
The Padres have been impressive this season winning 78 games so far. Their overall record stands at 78-65 with a win percentage of .545, putting them in second place in the NL West standings.
They have been consistent throughout the season, but their recent form is faltering. They have only won four of their last 10 games. They are on track to beat their record from last year and are in contention for a Wild Card berth, something they failed to do last campaign.
"A Two-sday shutout" - Padres
Josh Rojas and Christian Walker have been top performers for the Diamondbacks this season. Rojas has the highest batting average on the team at .270. Walker has a team-high 32 home runs and an RBI of 79. Zac Gallen has been impressive as well. He has an ERA of 2.50 and has thrown 163 strikeouts.
