The Arizona Diamondbacks are on the verge of being swept at home by the San Diego Padres but Robbie Ray is on the hill today for Arizona and he won’t let that happen. Ray doesn’t get the attention like other lefties, such as Kershaw and Sale, but he is just as good. In his last 3 starts, the flamethrower is 3-0, with an ERA of just 0.93 and a stingy WHIP of 0.67. The pesky Friars, who are no push over, will counter with Luis Perdomo. Perdomo has pitched well in his last 3 outings, going 1-1, with an ERA of 2.50, and a 1.56 WHIP but San Diego is 1-7 in his last 8 starts against the National League West. The Diamondbacks are 11-4 in Ray’s last 15 starts and 7-1 in his last 8 starts against a team with a losing record. The number is high but they all are at this time of year. Lay it and take Arizona.
