<a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/271591&quot; title="Cal Quantrill Pitching Stats">Cal Quantrill</a> is coming off, by far, his worst start to the season where he was lit up giving up eight earned runs on eight hits in four 1/3 innings in a 9-0 loss to the L.A. Dodgers. The Padres had won two in a row with him on the hill before losing his last two starts where he has given up 11 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings of work. Quantrill had not given up more than three earned runs in seven straight starts before his last one. He has not faced the Diamondbacks this season, and the Padres have lost his last two road starts where he gave up five earned runs in 11 innings of work and only received three runs of support.

<p>
<a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/40019&quot; title="Mike Leake Pitching Stats">Mike Leake</a> is coming off his best start for the Diamondbacks after he came to them in a trade with the Seattle Mariners in early August. He made his 5th start for the club in his last outing giving up two earned runs on only four hits in seven 1/3 innings in a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Arizona had lost his previous three starts where he was not sharp at all giving up 17 earned runs in 16 innings. He gave up eight HR in his first three starts for the club but has not given up any in his last two starts. This start will be Leake’s first of the season against the Padres and in eight career appearances facing them he has an ERA of 3.30. In Leake’s five starts for the Diamondbacks, he is 1-2 with a less than stellar ERA of 6.59.

<h3>
Team Info<br />
</h3>
<p>
While the Padres have won three of their last four games, they are out of the playoff picture 23.5 games out of first place in the NL West and nine games out of the 2nd NL Wild Card.
</p>
<p>
The San Diego pitching was solid in their last series taking three of four games from the Giants giving up only eight runs in the three wins.
</p>
<p>
The Diamondbacks have no chance to catch the L.A. Dodgers in the NL West but are only 3.5 games out of the 2nd Wild Card. The recent 6-game win streak helped in their quest for the post-season, and the schedule favors them, as in their remaining eight series' they only face two teams that currently have a winning record.
</p>
<p>
Arizona has lost seven of their last eight games against the Padres and the last time they faced them in May in San Diego they swept them in a three-game set. How they fare against the Padres the rest of the season will be vital in them making the playoffs, as starting with this game they face them nine more times including six times in their last nine games.
