D-backs Have Been Mashing Right-Handed Pitchers

The Arizona Diamondbacks are in a battle for the NL West lead, thanks to how well they have been beating up on right-handed pitchers this season. The D-backs are slashing .281/.348/.485 with 53 home runs against RHP this season and have won their past seven games when their opponents trot out a righty to start.

Shark Bites
  • The Brewers will be without Ryan Braun after he injured his calf Thursday night.
  • The visiting team is 3-7 SU in the last 10 games between the D-backs and Brewers.
  • The total has gone OVER in 16 of the Brewers' last 21 games at home.

The D-backs will be facing Junior Guerra, a right-handed pitcher who has been out of action since Sportsbook Day, when they continue their four-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Guerra hasn’t looked stellar in his two rehab starts, as he allowed 17 hits and nine runs in 11.1 innings of work between Double-A and Triple-A.

Opposing the returning Guerra will be Zack Godley, who has looked great since replacing an injured Shelby Miller in the starting rotation. Godley has recorded three quality starts in his four outings and has not allowed more than three runs once. His ability to force grounders is the most impressive skill, as Godley has a 68.1 groundball rate.
