Taking a dive into how the starting pitching and bullpens line up in what promises to be a long day of baseball for both staffs.
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Cleveland Guardians play a double header on Wednesday, due to a rainout Tuesday night. Game one first pitch is at 10:10 A.M. Arizona Time, 1:10 P.M. Local time in Cleveland. Game two will start no more than 45 minutes after the conclusion of game one.
This makes sense for the Diamondbacks as Pfaadt is the team's most reliable innings eater. He's made made 22 starts and thrown 131.1 innings. He's gone at least five innings in all but one start, and the one time he didn't was because he was hit on the ankle by a come backer July 6th against San Diego.
The Guardians will stick with their original rotation order. Ben Lively, will start game one and Carlos Carrasco starts in game two. Lively has not pitched into the seventh inning of a game since May 26th, but consistently goes five or six. The double header could be even more problematic for Cleveland than Arizona, as they were already scheduled to play a twin bill against the Minnesota Twins on Friday.for the D-backs today. He had just been optioned yesterday to make way for Rodriguez, but was eligible to return due to the Doubleheader.
