The Arizona Diamondbacks finally got back in the win column with an 11-2 romp last night over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark. Their odds of making it two in a row look promising tonight, when they send their ace flamethrower Zack Greinke to the hill. Greinke has been spectacular over his last 3 outings, going 3-0, with a 1.42 ERA, and a 0.74 WHIP. Greinke is 8-2 lifetime against the Reds, with an ERA of 2.21 and he last faced them on July 7th where he pitched 7 scoreless innings in an Arizona victory. Tim Adleman will tap the rubber tonight for Cincinnati and he has struggled, going 0-3 in his last 3 outings, with a 6.91 ERA, a WHIP of 1.67, and the Reds are 1-6 in his last 7 starts. Arizona acquired the slugging outfielder J.D. Martinez from Detroit and he should be in the lineup tonight. The Diamondbacks are 6-1 in Greinke’s last 7 starts and 7-2 in their last 9 trips to Cincinnati. All the numbers point to an Arizona victory.
