The San Diego Padres are making a push in the NL West, now just three games behind the division leaders after key trade deadline acquisitions. They face the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have faltered after trading away significant players like Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor. With both teams splitting the first two games of their series, the rubber match features newly-acquired Nestor Cortes on the mound for San Diego, fresh off the injured list. Arizona counters with Anthony DeSclafani, whose lackluster season includes a 4.91 ERA.

Prop betting fans should keep an eye on Ketel Marte, who boasts a .287 average with 21 homers. He’s been a consistent threat against left-handers like Cortes, who has struggled with power hitters this season. With these dynamics, betting on the OVER for total runs seems like a viable option, considering both teams' offensive capabilities and the potential for a high-scoring game.
