Diamondbacks vs. Padres Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers and Prop Bets for Tuesday, July 8

The Arizona Diamondbacks inched closer to getting to .500 in the 2025 season on Monday, as they beat the San Diego Padres in their series opener.

San Diego is third in the NL West right now, and it has some ground to make up if it wants to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the division standings.

However, the D-Backs are a pesky team with a really strong offense that could make that tough early in this week.

San Diego will have Nick Pivetta on the mound on Tuesday, and it is set as a favorite at home.

Arizona counters with veteran right-hander Merrill Kelly, who enters this start with a solid 3.55 ERA.

Heres a breakdown of the odds, players to watch in the prop market, and my prediction for this AL West matchup.

Padres Best MLB Prop Bets Fernando Tatis Jr.

OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+105) This is a solid matchup for the Padres star, as hes 10-for-28 in his career against Kelly with a 1.241 OPS.

Tatis has one double and four home runs against the Diamondbacks righty, and hes hitting a solid .273 over his last week of action.

Hes worth a look in a familiar matchup on Tuesday.

Diamondbacks vs.

Padres Prediction and Pick Im buying a bounce-back showing from San Diego with Pivetta on the mound, even though he didnt have the best month of June.

Pivettas ERA went from 2.74 to 3.36 during June, but he rebounded nicely in his first start in July, tossing six innings of one-run ball.

Overall, the Padres are 11-6 in Pivettas starts in 2025, and theyre also an impressive 11 games over .500 at home.

Arizona is 9-9 when Kelly is on the mound, but the veteran has not pitched well as of late, posting a 4.91 ERA over his last four starts.

The D-Backs are just 1-3 in those games, and they dont have a great bullpen behind him.

Arizona ranks 28th in MLB in bullpen ERA (5.05), while the Padres are fourth at 3.31.

With Pivetta trending upward after his last start, I think the Padres even this series on Tuesday night.

Pick: Padres Moneyline (-137 at DraftKings) Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
