Nick Pivetta held Arizona to two hits over seven innings and Jake Cronenworth homered as the San Diego Padres defeated the Diamondbacks 8-2 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak.

In their last four series, they are 8-4 with wins against the Braves, Mariners, and Padres. Their playoff odds on FanGraphs have gone from 25% to 37% in their last home stand. They still have four teams ahead of them, but they're one strong run away from being right in the thick of the race.

The San Diego Padres aim to break a three-game losing streak as they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday at Chase Field. A win by the home team would give Arizona a sweep and a six-game winning streak, and I am backing them to stay hot in the desert in my Padres vs. Diamondbacks predictions and MLB picks for Sunday, June 15.
