Betting on the Arizona Diamondbacks (17-11)
Arizona is bringing Robbie Ray (2-1, 3.56 ERA) up the mound here. He’s making his third start on the road this season, which is pretty good news. The lefty is 1-0 with a 0.71 ERA away from home while is only 1-1 with a high 5.60 ERA during three starts at Chase Field.
The D-Backs won the series opener on Tuesday night, gathering in six scored runs, including three home runs, to come away with the 6-3 win over Washington. Brandon Dury and Chris Herrmann each had two hits along with two RBIs from the latter there.
Moreover, Jake Lamb went 1-of-4 in that victory and extended his hitting streak to five games. He also leads Arizona with six dingers this season.
Betting on the Washington Nationals (17-9)
Just two days after scoring 23 runs against the Mets, Washington was limited to just three runs while getting blanked in the final six frames of its 6-3 loss to Arizona on Tuesday night.
Ryan Zimmerman blasted two of the Nats’ seven hits in the loss, which also marked the veteran’s fifth-consecutive multi-hit outing—a career-high. Zimmerman finished April with a sizzling line of .420/.458/.886, and so far, it seems like he can keep that form up in this month of May.
Meanwhile, Washington is set to start Gio Gonzalez (3-0, 1.62 ERA), who’s thrown for at least six innings in five strong starts this season. He yielded just two runs on seven hits in his previous start at Colorado last week. The Nats won that game, 16-5.
Writer’s Prediction
Nats (-125) win it, 7-2.
