Arizona defeated the Braves last night 5-3 as Paul Goldschmidt homered and the Diamondbacks got another good pitching performance from its starting pitcher, this time it was Patrick Corbin. Now Atlanta has to face Clay Buchholz, who has been nothing short of phenomenal with a 7-2 record and 2.05 ERA while allowing a total of only 11 earned runs his last 10 starts. Buchholz is 5-1 with a 1.69 ERA and .227 opponent batting average the second half of the season and 5-1 and 2.01 in night games. The Braves have lost seven of their last 10 games and struggling to hold onto first place in the NL East. Atlanta has lost 12 of Julio Teheran's last 16 Saturday starts and the Braves have lost nine of their last 10 after giving up at least five runs their previous game. Go with the Diamondbacks in this one.
