Cincinnati at Arizona

The Reds jumped forward a year ago to make the playoffs, and have sizzled to a 5-1 start this season. They have dazzled at home while they have hovered around the .500 mark on the road, and this being their road opener could see them struggle. Ian Kennedy gave them a strong season to build on a year ago, allowing 31 less hits than innings pitched, which puts him in a good spot to improve upon his nine wins a year ago. Travis Wood has had no recent success vs. the NL West as the Reds have dropped his last four starts against them. Kennedy enters having led the D-Backs to a 7-2 mark at home in his last nine starts here vs. a winning team. Arizona gets the call.
