The Cardinals have won 9 of their past 10 to move nine games over .500 for the first time this season. Meanwhile, the Padres have lost 7 of their past 9 games. The Padres have struggled on the road, entering Saturday 32-40 on the year, and Arrieta getting the start doesn’t put the Padres in a good spot.
