Since 10 June, the Padres have bounced around the Division lead between by a half game up and a full game down.
Last week, the Padres swept the Diamondbacks. Because this series is a 2-game series, another sweep is possible, but it could be surprising. I’m optimistic that Gallen and a rested bullpen will win the first game. I’m very cautiously optimistic that the Diamondbacks will win the second game to sweep the Padres.
