The PLAY: Arizona Diamondbacks 103 Action
Maybe all it took for the D-backs was to get out of LA and back home to Chase Field to get straightened out. Sweeping three from the Tigers in Phoenix was a good way for Arizona to get back to .500 and on track again.
After the offense erupted for 16 runs across the first two games of the Detroit series, it was a good old fashioned pitching diuel on Wednesday when Zac Gallen outdueled Tarik Skubal in a 1-0 D-backs triumph thanks to a Corbin Carroll homer. The hot bat at the moment surely belongs to Carroll, too, after he knocked in seven runs across the three-game sweep of the Tigers.
Ryne Nelson, roughed up by the Dodgers last Friday, should look forward to pitching at home tonight after posting a 2.71 ERA at Chase last season, while we see how the Braves fare on the road after opening with six games at home. We also need more evidence than one good start vs. a misfiring Royals offense last week that starter Reynoldo Lopez is all of the way back from last year's shoulder surgery. We use D-backs +103, so invoke our ".10 rule" here to stick with the Arizona pick as long as it doesn't move more than .10 (that would be -107) from our price. Play D-backs on Money Line
