Arizona has a winning road record while the bumbling Braves are 1-14 at home! Arizona has plenty of offensive punch, seventh in the league in runs scored, and #11 in on-base percentage. The Diamondbacks rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat Atlanta 4-2 on Saturday, part of a 7-3 run on the road. Arizona southpaw Patrick Corbin has not allowed a run to the Braves in 16+ innings against them in his career. The Diamondbacks are also 21-7 when Corbin faces a team with a losing record. He faces a dreadful Atlanta team that is last in the league in runs scored and #28 in on-base percentage. Starter Mike Foltynewicz (0-1, 9.82 ERA) got off to a bad start and in 2015 for the Braves, he went 4-6 with a 5.71 ERA as batters hit .313 off him in 86 innings. Arizona pounded him for 17 hits and 10 runs in 10+ innings for a whopping 8.71 ERA last year. Atlanta is on a 21-53 run, including 10-29 at home. Play Arizona.
