Davies (Diamondbacks probable pitcher) is slowly getting back up to speed after time on the injury list and rehabbing in the minors. He has gradually increased his workload to get back to where he was last season. He now has two starts under his belt since he was shut down at the end of April. His numbers are all out of whack but if he can get 4 or 5 decent innings in his bullpen can take it from there. In their last 10 Arizona’s relievers have a 2.60 ERA and 1.18 WHIP

Corbin doesn’t have that kind of support. He has been working steady but his numbers are atrocious with an ERA that was well above 6 until recently but still is near 5 and a WHIP that spent part of April near 2 and now is 1.48. His bullpen has an ERA of .655 and a WHIP of 1.81 in their last 10 games, so the pressure is on him to last as long as he is able.

The D-backs have an OPS that is 9th best in the majors that must be eagerly awaiting this match up.

The Nationals are 11-18 vs. clubs with a winning record while the D-backs are 21-13 vs. clubs with a losing record. The Nationals also have poor records at home (12-19) and at night (12-20) while the D-backs have winning records in both those situations. This is a clear choice to pick the Arizona Diamondbacks in Washington Wednesday night.
