The Arizona Diamondbacks split a 4-game set with the St. Louis Cardinals and it won’t get any easier for the them tonight when they head south for a 3-game series with the Miami Marlins. The Marlins quietly have one of the best rotations in the Majors and they are expected to send Pablo López to the rubber, whose his numbers have been off the charts. López is 3-0 with a ridiculous ERA of 0.39, a 0.73 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts in 23-1/3 innings of work. Zac Gallen is expected to get the nod for the D-backs and he has been dealing as well. Gallen has yet to notch a win but has an ERA of 0.60, a 0.67 WHIP, with 14 K’s in 15 innings work. Miami has won 7 of their last 8, are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings with Arizona and 5-0 in the last 5 against them at LoanDepot Park. Arizona has the worst batting average in the Majors at .181 and the way López is dealing could spell trouble for the Snakes.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MIAMI MARLINS
