Arizona Diamondbacks Analysis

The Arizona Diamondbacks have recently lost five straight series, but had two trades before the deadline that added Tommy Pham and Jace Peterson to the lineup. They currently sit nine games back in the NL West and 1.5 games back in the Wild Card race. Will their newly bolstered lineup be enough to put them over the top? Kelly has pitched well in his last three starts, with a 0-1 record and a 3.18 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. Despite this, second baseman Ketel Marte and third baseman Eva Longoria still on the injured list. The Diamondbacks have an overall record of 57-56 and rank #11 for offense (4.71 points per game) and #23 for defense (4.87 points per game). They are outmatched by the Los Angeles Dodgers (64-46 SU) who have won the last three matchups against Arizona.

Arizona Diamondbacks Trade For Tommy Pham, Jace Peterson in Bid to Revitalize Offense

The Arizona Diamondbacks have experienced a tough stretch recently, losing five series in a row since mid-July and having been swept in two of their last four series. The team currently stands nine games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West and 1.5 games pulled back from the Wild Card race. In a bid to revitalize their offensive punch, the Diamondbacks traded for Tommy Pham and Jace Peterson right before the trading deadline, placing them in the starting lineup. Kelly has seen decent recent performances, yielding a 0-1 record and a 3.18 ERA over his previous three starts. Most recently, he achieved a no-decision in a six-inning stint against the Minnesota Twins, while allowing two earned runs on six hits and striking out nine batters. Second baseman Ketel Marte was removed from Sunday's game with quad tightness, and presently categorized as day-to-day. Meanwhile, third baseman Eva Longoria is on the 10-day IL. Christian Walker has showed promising performance for the Diamondbacks, and the team is hopeful that the newly acquired players can make an impact.

My Prediction: Diamondbacks +1.5 (-154) to cover
