The Arizona Diamondbacks own the best home record in the Majors, at 26-9, and will open a 4-game set tonight at Chase Field against the Philadelphia Phillies. Philadelphia recalled Mark Leiter from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and he will make his first Major League start tonight. Leiter did make 12 relief appearances before being sent down and he was 0-0, with an ERA of 4.75. Arizona will send the lefty Patrick Corbin to the hill and he is having a so-so year at 6-6, with an ERA of 5.19, and a 1.55 WHIP. The Phillies have been awful on the road with a record of 9-28, they are 1-4 in their last 5 games against lefties, and 3-7 in their last 10 against the D-Backs. Arizona can hammer the ball and they should get to Leiter tonight.
Tonight’s Pick:
