KEY GAME INFORMATION
ARIZONA: 2017 93-69, second place, wild card, lost to Dodgers in NLDS
MANAGER Torey Lovullo (second season)
ADDITIONS: OF Steven Souza Jr., OF Jarrod Dyson, C Alex Avila, RHP Yoshihisa Hirano, RHP Brad Boxberger
SUBTRACTIONS: OF J.D. Martinez, 2B Brandon Drury, C Chris Iannetta, RHP Fernando Rodney
OUTLOOK: With all five starters back and nearly every position player returning, the Diamondbacks expect to be in the thick of things in the NL West after their big turnaround season under Lovullo, the NL MANAGER of the Year. The loss of Martinez hurts the offense but the acquisition of Souza -- who will begin the season on the disabled list -- and signing of Dyson should help. In addition, several players who missed much or most of last season with injuries are back, including Ahmed and utilityman Chris Owings. Greinke's initial start was pushed back a few days after he experienced tightness in his groin during a spring training outing, but it's not expected to be serious. Ray hopes to improve on his breakout season, giving the team a solid 1-2 pitching punch. The lineup could use a return to form at the plate for Pollock, who struggled a bit after missing nearly all of 2016 due to injury. Marte figures to get plenty of time at second base and some at shortstop. Owings and Daniel Descalso can play pretty much every infield spot as well as the outfield.
SAN DIEGO: 2017 71-91, fourth place
MANAGER Andy Green (third season)
ADDITIONS: 1B Eric Hosmer, 3B Chase Headley, SS Freddy Galvis, RHP Tyson Ross, RHP Bryan Mitchell, RHP Kazuhisa Makita
SUBTRACTIONS: RHP Jhoulys Chacin, INF Yangervis Solarte, LHP Travis Wood, SS Erick Aybar, SS Jose Rondon
OUTLOOK: The Padres should be more fun to watch this season with the additions of Hosmer and Galvis, but they're still not expected to contend for another year or two. There are some other interesting players on the team, including Pirela, who can play left field or second base, and Christian Villanueva, a versatile infielder who has pop in his bat. Myers moves back to the outfield to make room for Hosmer at first base, and Renfroe is expected to platoon with Pirela in left. Renfroe set a Padres rookie record with 26 home runs last year despite being sent down to Class AAA for a month.
PREVIEW
First-place Diamondbacks open series against last-place Padres
 

SAN DIEGO - That knocking you hear coming from the visiting clubhouse at Petco Park is opportunity.

And it belongs to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks open a four-game series against the San Diego Padres Thursday night holding a 1 1/2-game lead in the National League West -- with a golden opportunity to open a little more space between them and their closest pursuers in the division.

As the Diamondbacks are engaged with the last-place Padres, Arizona's closest pursuers -- the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers -- will be playing teams with playoff hopes.

A number of things point favorably in Arizona's direction going into Thursday night's opener:

--No team in the National League has a worse record than the Padres.

--The Padres were just swept at home in a three-game series by the Los Angeles Angels.

--The Padres are 2-18 this season in the first game of a home series and 10-29 overall in series openers.

But there are also a couple of things that should concern the Diamondbacks, who are 7-3 against the Padres this season and 3-0 against the Padres in San Diego.

The Padres recently went 6-4 against three other teams in the playoff hunt -- the Cubs, Brewers and Phillies. And the Cubs and Brewers series were on the road.

Rookie right-hander Jacob Nix (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will be making his second major league start for the Padres Thursday night. In his debut against the Phillies last Friday night, Nix worked six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks with four strikeouts.

Not only that, close to 100 family and friends of Nix drove down from Orange County to see his debut. And their reaction to every strike changed the crowd dynamics at Petco Park. Will Nix's followers again pump up the house to rally behind the 22-year-old?

Make no mistake, Nix is one of the Padres' top prospects. He has a five-pitch mix, although close to 60 percent of his pitches are the sinker or a four-seam fastball. Nix was a candidate to win a spot in the Padres' rotation in the spring until a groin injury put him on the disabled list until late May.

Between the time of his return and his promotion to the Padres, Nix made 10 minor league starts (nine at Double-A and one at Triple-A) and had a 1.84 ERA.

Nix will be opposed by the Diamondbacks' Clay Buchholz (5-2, 2.67) on Thursday.

Buchholz is a 34-year-old right-hander who was signed by the Diamondbacks as a free agent on May 4. He has made 11 starts for Arizona, allowing 21 runs (19 earned) on 57 hits and 16 walks with 55 strikeouts in 64 innings. In addition to his excellent ERA, Buchholz has a 1.14 WHIP and a .236 opponents' batting average as a Diamondback.

He has faced the Padres once this season and twice in his career. Both those previous outings were also at Petco Park. He has wins in each of those two previous appearances against the Padres, allowing four runs on 14 hits and three walks with 13 strikeouts over 12 1/3 innings. On July 29 of this season, he allowed three runs on six hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings against the Padres in San Diego.
