They have a tough task ahead of them against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who will look to prevent their division rivals from leapfrogging the Reds and the Mets on their way to the postseason.
We’ll explain in our Dodgers vs Diamondbacks predictions why the Diamondbacks should have some hope tonight, even if L.A.’s ace is looking unhittable at the moment.has finally settled back into his groove after a tumultuous start to the season. He’s now struck out 23 batters across his last two starts, spanning 23 innings, and in that time, he’s allowed just two hits and two walks. The lefty has transformed back into a ground-ball pitcher after spending some time in San Diego and San Francisco, where it makes more sense to pitch the opposite way, and the results have been palpable. His Expected Slugging is a friendly .328, and while the Expected Batting Average is up to .230, that’s actually an excellent mark relative to a ground-baller.

That’s how Nelson compounded his occasional issues with the home run, but if L.A. isn’t populating the bases and falls victim to the righty’s improving xBA, this one could be closer in nature than anticipated.We’ll first fortify our stance surrounding Snell in this spot with a very generous line on his earned runs. We’ll just need two, and while he’s worked two straight scoreless outings, he did surrender three runs to this same team just a month ago.train again. The slugger now has three hits in his last two games, including a triple and a homer, and is 3-for-5 lifetime off Nelson – something that’s not surprising given his .846 OPS against finesse pitchers and his stronger numbers against fly-ballers.
