The Diamondbacks are limping into the final series before the All Star Break. Last series, they lost two out of three to the Giants in spectacular fashion. They’ve lost six of their last 10, fallen to eleven games under .500, and are nearly equidistant from the first spot in the draft and the last spot in the playoffs. The bullpen has been bad. The offense has been missing. It’s rough right now
The Padres aren’t doing much better at the moment. They’ve lost seven out of their last ten, and lost four straight series since they split a two game set against the Diamondbacks back at the end of June.
