Our Diamondbacks vs. Padres predictions believe Dylan Cease's second-half turnaround begins on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
The Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres have split the first two games of their big four-game set, but it’s the D-backs who have a big pitching edge heading into Game 3.you need for this National League West showdown with first pitch at PETCO Park in San Diego slated to go at 9:40 pm ET on Wednesday, July 9.
Cease has been a little unlucky this season. His expected ERA sits at 3.52 while his opponent's expected batting average is .233. Both are well above league average. He's still racking up the Ks, sitting in the Top 12% in strikeout rate. The right-hander has also had loads of success against this D-backs lineup in the past. Current Arizona hitters have combined for a .198 xBA, a .298 xSLG, and a 26% K-rate., who is in the conversation for “Worst Starter in the Big Leagues” this season. The 26-year-old right-hander ranks in the Bottom 1% among MLB pitchers in both xERA and xBA. The Padres' lineup can be inconsistent at times, but they have more than enough talent to take advantage of this matchup and have a .295 xBA vs. Pfaadt. The Padres will jump on Pfaadt to build and early lead, and Cease will do enough to earn the win, making the +150 price tag too good to pass up.Naylor has faced Cease a bunch from their respective times in the American League Central, and Cease has definitely had Naylor’s number. The Arizona slugger is 6-for-23 in his career vs. the Padres hurler. That’s good for a .169 xBA and a .226 xSLG. So, give me Under 0.5 hits for Naylor tonight. The former hitting champ is a ridiculous 10-for-16 in his career vs. Pfaadt and is starting to look like his old self, hitting .373 over his last 13 games, including six multi-hit games. Let’s make it another multi-hit game for Arraez with this great matchup.The Diamondbacks have only hit the team total Over in 12 of their last 34 away games for -12.30 Units and a -31% ROI.
