Kudos to the Phillies for halting the Diamondbacks' six-game win streak on Tuesday.
But I see Arizona starting a new win streak today pitching Merrill Kelly against Ranger Suarez.
The Diamondbacks are one of the hottest teams in baseball - and they have been all season tied for the third-best record in the league.
Arizona is 7-1 in Kelly's last eight starts. Kelly is 8-3 with a 2.92 ERA and 1.10 WHIP on the season.
Suarez has started to pitch better, but he's a bottom-of-the-rotation type starter not in Kelly's class. Suarez has a 4.70 ERA and 1.43 WHIP. The Diamondbacks faced Suarez last month and got to him for five runs in five innings. Suarez has a 6.35 ERA in 28 1/3 career innings versus Arizona.
The Diamondbacks rank in the top-five in runs, batting average and OPS. They have scored at least five runs in seven of their past eight games.
Even with their Tuesday victory, the Phillies are just 14-23 on the road. They are 4-13 during their last 17 games at Arizona.
