Diamondbacks vs Padres live stream is a treat, bringing one of the most exciting lineups in baseball to challenge the left-hander with the intent of proving he is still the dominant force of days past - this should be a great MLB live stream! This should be a great MLB live stream. Last season, the Padres were one of the best storylines in baseball. Their $300 million man, Manny Machado, knocked off the cover of the ball with 16 homers while batting .304 with a .370 on base percentage.

On top of that, young stud Fernando Tatis Jr. hit 17 home runs, the fourth highest batting average in baseball. Machado and Tatis would finish third and fourth, respectively, in the NL League's MVP voting. The hype failed, however, when they were shut out by the Cardinals in the second round of the playoffs. The Padres are hoping that one of the newest additions to their rotation can help get things off to a good start, based on the many positives from last year.

Yu Darvish will pitch for the Padres and Madison Bumgarner will start for the Diamondbacks. Darvish will be making his Padres debut after three years with the Cubs. The veteran right-hander has an 8-3 record and a 2.01 earned-run average in 12 starts. Bumgarner struggled last season, his first away from the three-time World Series-winning Giants. He pitched in nine games last season, but missed about a month late in the season due to back tightness.

The Diamondbacks are trying to bounce back from an overall disappointing 2020 campaign. Arizona won only 25 games and finished last in the NL West. If they are going to have further success, they need to bet on shortstop Ketel Marte to regain the numbers he showed in 2019. Marte batted .329 with 32 home runs that season and played in his first All-Star Game.

The Padres enter the game as 1.5 run favorites. The over/under is 8 runs.

OK, for some reason you're traveling right now, or suffering from the dreaded local blackout - and you can't watch Diamondbacks vs. Padres. Using a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you are surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else not hit by a blackout) and access the same streaming services you have already paid for.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there. Here are our top picks.

In the U.S., the live stream of Diamondbacks vs. Padres begins Thursday, April 1 at 4:10 p.m. ET/1:10 p.m. ET. It will be on FOX Sports Arizona as well as FSSD and FOX Deportes San Diego - so your best bet is AT&T TV. How do I get around the regional restrictions? Express VPN is a great way to get around blackouts.

MLB.TV ($25/month/$129/year) also streams out-of-market games, but it is not a perfect solution if you want to watch something other than baseball; T-Mobile customers can get MLB.TV along with a free subscription to the sports site The Athletic for free of charge.

BT Sport has MLB broadcast rights in the UK until 2022, but this game is not included in that roster. Those who visit the UK and strike out while trying to use the service they pay for can check out Express VPN.

Alternatively, another bet is MLB.TV, also available in the UK. For about 50 pounds per month, it has zero blackout rules.

In Canada, you need MLB.TV to watch Diamondbacks vs. Padres, as TSN and SportsNet do not have the game. However, if you are considering subscribing, be aware that the Blue Jays are subject to the blackout.

If you are visiting Canada from abroad, a VPN such as Express VPN will allow you to use the streaming service you have already paid for.
