Miami is just 2-7 at home this season. The Marlins could be mentally flat, too, since this is their first home game following a 10-game road trip. The Marlins could start to feel the effects of not having Dee Gordon in the lineup.

Arizona has been much better on the road. The Diamondbacks are 7-3 away, including winning their last five road games. They have won their last four at the Marlins.

Arizona starter Patrick Corbin is at his best on the road, also, with a 5-1 mark and 3.11 ERA during his last nine away outings. Arizona is 6-1 in Corbin's last seven starts away from Chase Field.

Miami starter Justin Nicolino is making his second start of the season. He shut down the Dodgers, 2-0, on the road yielding only two hits in 7 1/3 innings this past Wednesday in his season debut. I'm far from sold he can repeat a performance like that especially now that the Diamondbacks have something to go on.
