Point Spread: -1.50 | -107.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
Bye, bye Arizona.
The slipping Diamondbacks, losers of 10 of their last 14 games and four in a row, have it rough again here.
Arizona faces the Braves and All-Star pitcher Bryce Elder. Both the Braves and Elder are off bad performances. So the Diamondbacks can't expect any mercy.
The Diamondbacks are starting Zach Davies, who has surrendered seven runs in his last two starts spanning 11 innings. Davies has a 6.37 ERA. He's prone to the long ball having yielded 52 homers the past three seasons.
The Braves lead the majors in homers, while ranking No. 2 in runs and batting average. The Braves have smacked at least one home run in 28 of their last 29 games.
So I see this as a kill spot for the Braves. Of the Braves' last 11 victories, 10 have been by more than one run.
