Two of the best flame throwers in the league will oppose each other tonight at Chase Field with Zack Greinke taking the hill for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Jacob DeGrom for the New York Mets. Arizona is on a 5-game skid and have not been getting any breaks. Four of their 5 losses have been by one run only. I like the Diamondbacks chances to get back on track tonight. Greinke is 6-2 on the season, with a 2.78 ERA, a 0.88 WHIP, and when he takes the hill at home, good things happen. The Diamondbacks are 5-1 in Greinke’s last 6 starts at Chase and he has dominated the Mets in his career, going 5-1 with a 3.08 ERA. The 2018 National League Cy Young winner, DeGrom, sits at 3-5 on the season with a 3.71 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP. The Mets are 0-4 in his last 4 road starts and 1-5 in his last 6 starts against the NL West. The Snakes get it done.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
