The Arizona Diamondbacks open a 3-game home set tonight against flame thrower Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals. The San Diego native is delivering as usual, with a record of 14-1, an ERA of 2.68 and a WHIP of 0.99. The Nats are 10-1 in Strasburg’s last 11 road starts and 9-3 in their last 12 meetings with Arizona. The Diamondbacks struggle at home, owning a 17-35 record at Chase Field. Archie Bradley gets the nod for Arizona and he is 4-6 on the season, with an ERA of 4.17 and a WHIP of 1.41. The Diamondbacks are just 1-4 in Bradley’s last 5 home starts and 1-4 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record. I like Harper and company tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Nationals
