The Diamondbacks didn’t waste too much time after their season came to an end, as Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the <a href="https://x.com/BNightengale/status/1841929843325260249" rel="noopener">ball club fired three coaches</a>.</p><p>“The Arizona Diamondbacks, whose pitching staff took a step backwards and struggled, fire pitching coach Brent Strom, assistant pitching coach Dan Carlson and bullpen coach Mike Fetters,” Nightengale wrote on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>In all reality, the Diamondbacks had a respectable season overall. Sometimes the MLB standings picture just doesn’t work in a team’s favor.</p><p>For example, the Diamondbacks narrowly reached the postseason in 2023 after winning just 84 games. In 2024, they fell short of a postseason spot despite winning 89 games. The 2023 team caught fire after clinching a postseason berth and they ultimately found themselves in the World Series. Although they were defeated by the Texas Rangers in the 2023 Fall Classic, the Diamondbacks were excited about the future.</p><p>Sure enough, the team emerged as a contender once again in 2024. They were in the postseason picture until the very end of the season before the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets clinched the final two National League Wild Card spots.</p><h2><b>Will Diamondbacks bounce back in 2025?</b></h2><p>Arizona still features a competitive team with potential. They will need to make some pitching upgrades, however. Perhaps pressing the restart button by moving on from the three aforementioned pitching coaches will help the situation as well.</p><p>The Diamondbacks’ 4.62 team ERA was 27th overall in the big leagues. Their 1.35 WHIP was tied for 26th overall. Diamondbacks pitchers simply did not miss many bats, turning in 1,313 total strikeouts which was 26th overall in MLB.</p><p>Zac Gallen pitched fairly well across 28 starts, recording a 3.65 ERA and 156 strikeouts. Merrill Kelly underwhelmed for the most part, while offseason acquisitions such as Jordan Montgomery and Eduardo Rodriguez did not pitch up to their full potential by any means.</p><p>The Diamondbacks’ pitching rotation had the ceiling of a quality unit. In the end, Arizona’s pitchers did not get the job done with the exception of Gallen’s respectable performance. Even Gallen, though, features a higher ceiling than a 3.65 ERA pitcher.</p><p>It will be interesting to see if Arizona opts to make any drastic changes in the rotation during the offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This season, they’ve missed the playoffs completely, blowing a seven-game lead in the NL Wild Card.</p><p>As you can imagine, the vibes aren’t great right now in the D-Backs clubhouse. They weren’t consistent enough in 2024 and that resulted in missing out on October baseball. Unfortunately, the finger-pointing is already beginning, too.</p><p>Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick put the signing of Jordan Montgomery on blast on Tuesday, <a href="https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1841154633114235284" rel="noopener">blaming himself</a> for recommending the idea to the front office before the lefty struggled immensely in the desert.</p><p>Via Bob Nightengale:</p><p>“Looking back, in hindsight, a horrible decision to have invested that money in a guy that performed as poorly as he did. It was or biggest mistake this season from a talent standpoint. And I’m the perpetrator of that.”</p><p>Some very harsh words from Kendrick. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-news-jordan-montgomery-arizona-agree-to-free-agency-contract">Montgomery didn’t sign until late in spring training </a>and as a result, didn’t get the chance to actually log innings before the campaign began, similar to Blake Snell. But Snell figured things out, while Montgomery didn’t. The veteran went 8-7 with an atrocious 6.23 ERA in 25 appearances (21 starts).</p><p>That’s a far cry from how the Diamondbacks southpaw performed last season with the Rangers in the second half en route to a World Series title. Arizona saw how good he was in the Fall Classic and likely thought they were getting that same dominance, but it didn’t happen. Montgomery signed a two-year deal with the D-Backs but there’s a player option in 2025. Needless to say, he probably won’t be back.</p><p>It’s hard for Montgomery to make excuses for how poorly he pitched. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-news-jordan-montgomery-blasts-scott-boras-after-frustrating-free-agency">he voiced his frustration with agent Scott Boras</a> because the lefty was unsigned until nearly Opening Day, claiming Boras “butchered” a chance to sign with the Red Sox:</p><p>“I had a Zoom call with (the Red Sox), that’s really all I know. It went good,” Jordan Montgomery said. “I don’t know, obviously Boras kind of butchered it, so I’m just trying to move on from the offseason and try to forget it.”</p><p>Montgomery now has new representation and they will likely need to find him a new home in ’25, based on Kendrick’s comments. Yikes.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The San Diego Padres have already clinched the first wild card slot, but their division rival, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-nys-hilarious-message-padres-amid-san-diego-juggernaut-vs-diamondbacks">the Arizona Diamondbacks,</a> are up for one of the remaining spots. Two NL East rivals in the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets are also in the hunt. As Sunday’s games progress, the playoff picture should get clearer. The different scenarios <a href="https://x.com/JeffPassan/status/1840422181185990729" rel="noopener">were broken down by</a> ESPN’s Jeff Passan on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>“The upshot: The Braves are in a very good position,” reported Passan on the social media site. “The Mets control their own destiny. And the Diamondbacks need quite a bit of help.”</p><p>Eight different scenarios are in play, and the Diamondbacks do need help in all of them. The likeliest paths have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-nightmare-seeding-scenario-matchup-2024-mlb-playoffs">Atlanta and New York</a> making the dance, with Arizona on the outside looking in. Yet, there is a lot that can happen on Sunday and on Monday, when the Mets and Braves are scheduled to play in a doubleheader. Both of those games could still be played depending on what happens Sunday. Which of these three teams will make it into the annual gauntlet?</p><h2><b>How can Mets, Braves and Diamondbacks clinch playoff spots?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Mets-SS-Francisco-Lindor_12d6ff.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Starting with the Diamondbacks, who need the most help to get in the postseason in each of the eight scenarios. If both the Mets and Braves win today and Arizona loses, then the defending NL champions are out of the dance. They need one or both teams to lose on Sunday in order to have a chance. A variety of different options <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-why-arizona-must-win-world-series-in-2023">can get the Diamondbacks</a> into the playoffs, but they definitely do need some help from their fellow contenders and the teams they are playing Sunday.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/new-york-mets-2024-over-under-regular-season-win-total">The Mets are certainly</a> in control of their own hopes. If they win, they are in. Plain and simple. Shortstop Francisco Lindor and first baseman Pete Alonso have helped to pace a solid New York offense, and beating the Milwaukee Brewers today would get them into a great position. Winning today and one of tomorrow’s games against their division rivals in Atlanta would get them into the postseason.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/atlanta-braves-2024-over-under-regular-season-win-total">The Braves look poised</a> to return to the playoffs once again. If they win today, they are in. Also, plain and simple. One of the games tomorrow would still be necessary. Winning the first game tomorrow would likely make the second game unnecessary, as it would just be for seeding purposes.</p><p>It all comes down to today’s results. Will the Braves and Mets return to the playoffs? Will the Diamondbacks be able to get in and defend their NL title? Winning is the easiest path to solidifying their respective chances.

The Diamondbacks are holding onto that spot by a hair over the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets. After beating the Diamondbacks on Friday night, the Padres have a greater chance of hurting their playoff chances even more with another win on Sunday. Ultimately, the Padres are uniquely positioned to eliminate a divisional rival or risk facing them again in a few days.</p><p>The Padres scored five runs on Friday, which was all they needed to win the first game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-news-luis-arraez-dishes-tony-gwynn-rod-carew-comparisons" rel="noopener">Luis Arraez thrived</a> in this one, clubbing two doubles, in addition to a triple, to help power the Padres to victory. Likewise, Manny Machado battered a single for an RBI. Jackson Merrill also contributed with a single to give the Padres another run. It was one of those games that showed the depth the Padres have, especially considering that Fernando Tatis Jr. went 0 for 5. The Padres have Arraez, Tatis, Machado, and Jurickson Profar in the lineup. Don’t forget about Xander Bogaerts. Therefore, this is a loaded lineup who can pick each other up when one falters.</p><p>Perez is looking for his first win against the Diamondbacks. Significantly, he is 0-1 with a 3.48 ERA over two starts against them in his career. When Perez exits, he will turn it over to a bullpen that is 11th in baseball in team ERA. Robert Suarez is the closer and has done well this season, going 9-3 with a 2.77 ERA with 36 saves in 42 chances.</p><h2><b>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Diamondbacks are in must-win mode. Significantly, they fell on Friday, which dropped them into a tie with the Braves and Mets, who are also battling for survival, along with two games on Monday. Then, they lost again on Saturday, which dropped them into a tie with the Mets for the final spot while the Braves moved up.</p><p>The offense needs to score more than three runs. Unfortunately, that is all they got on Friday. Corbin Carroll has improved after a sluggish start. Yet, his solo home run was not enough to do much. Ketel Marte was not great, striking out and going 0 for 3. Christian Walker also went 0 for 4. Overall, the Diamondbacks left nine runners on the basepaths. Things did not get much better on Saturday when they managed two measly hits, leaving seven runners stranded.</p><p>Pfaadt is looking for his first win against the Padres. Unfortunately, he is 0-2 with a 3.81 ERA over five games against them in his career. When Pfaadt exits the game, he will turn it over to a bullpen that is 24th in baseball in team ERA. Sadly, the Diamondbacks don’t have an established closer, especially with Paul Sewald out with an injury.</p><p>The Diamondbacks will cover the spread if they can drive runners home and avoid leaving too many runners on base. Then, they need a good outing from Pfaadt and for the bullpen to avoid collapsing.</p><h2><b>Final Padres-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Padres are 7-5 against the Diamondbacks this season, so it’s been a tight battle all season. San Diego is 84-77 against the run line, while Arizona is 82-79. Furthermore, the Padres are 49-30 against the run line on the road, while the Diamondbacks are 35-45. The Padres are on fire right now and heating up for the playoffs. Conversely, the Diamondbacks are withering. This looks like another game that the Padres may thrive in, covering the spread on the road and sweeping the Diamondbacks to end their season.</p><p><b>Final Padres-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick: San Diego Padres: +1.5 (-150)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite both teams vying for playoff positions, the Padres hold a distinct advantage that should propel them to success.</p><p>Darvish, a seasoned veteran, brings a formidable 3.18 ERA and an impressive 1.06 WHIP to the mound. His ability to strike out batters (74 Ks in 76.1 innings) while limiting walks (only 19) demonstrates his exceptional command and control. This precision will be crucial in neutralizing the Diamondbacks’ potent offense.</p><p>In contrast, Kelly, though undefeated, sports a more bloated 3.71 ERA. His underlying metrics are concerning, with a 5.10 xERA and rankings in the 17th percentile or lower in key stats like xBA and barrel rate. These numbers suggest Kelly is due for regression, which the Padres’ powerful lineup is well-equipped to exploit.</p><p>The Padres’ offense, boasting a .264 team batting average, the best in the majors, and 187 home runs (11th in the majors), has shown resilience and adaptability in recent games. Their ability to secure victories against tough opponents like the NL West champion Dodgers demonstrates their playoff-caliber performance.</p><p>While the Diamondbacks have a slightly worse team batting average (.263 2nd in the majors), their recent inconsistency is a red flag as they lost three out of their last five games. Darvish’s experience in high-pressure situations, combined with the Padres’ more consistent recent form, gives them the edge in this crucial matchup. Expect the Padres to emerge victorious, further solidifying their postseason aspirations.</p><h2><b>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Merrill Kelly and the Arizona Diamondbacks are looking for a big win against Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres in their upcoming clash at Chase Field as title aspirations are still up in the air.</p><p>Kelly, a model of consistency this season, brings an impressive 3.71 ERA and 1.09 WHIP to the mound. His ability to limit hard contact and induce weak grounders will be crucial against the Padres’ potent lineup. Kelly’s recent shutout performance against the Brewers, allowing just two hits over five scoreless innings, demonstrates he’s in top form heading into this pivotal matchup.</p><p>The Diamondbacks’ offense, led by the dynamic Corbin Carroll, is primed to capitalize on their recent momentum in the wild card race. Arizona’s hitters have been finding their stride at the perfect time, and the home-field advantage at Chase Field, where they’ve been formidable, gives them a significant edge.</p><p>While Darvish boasts a solid 3.18 ERA, his road performance the Diamondbacks have hit well off him with a team batting average of .254, OBP .316, and SLG .412 with 9 home runs and 25 RBIs giving them some hope in this tough matchup.</p><p>Kelly’s ability to rack up strikeouts with 55 strikeouts in 68 innings, could be particularly effective against a Padres lineup that is best in the league with just 6.60 strikeouts per game. Expect Kelly to continue his impressive run, backed by a potent offense and energized home crowd, leading the Diamondbacks to a crucial victory in this high-stakes matchup.</p><h2><b>Final Padres</b><b>-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>In this high-stakes matchup between the Diamondbacks and Padres, expect a closely contested battle. Merrill Kelly’s recent form and home-field advantage give the Diamondbacks a slight edge, but Yu Darvish’s experience can’t be discounted. The game will likely hinge on bullpen performance and key at-bats in the later innings. The Padres’ potent offense will be the difference maker in this matchup as Kelly has to yet to face off against them this season and will struggle mightily lineup and especially against Fernando Tatis Jr. (.364, 4 home runs) While both teams have playoff aspirations, the Padres” momentum and Darvish’s ability to limit hard contact should propel them to a narrow victory.</p><p><b>Final Padres-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick: San Diego Padres ML (+104), Under 8.5 (-108)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Diamondbacks were tied with the New York Mets for the final wildcard spot entering Tuesday night’s games, but the Atlanta Braves were just one game back. The Braves and Mets are playing each other in a series, which gives the Diamondbacks a good chance of padding their lead if they can string together some wins against the Giants. The Diamondbacks have won six of the last ten meetings with the Giants. However, the Giants have won six of their past ten overall, while the Diamondbacks have won just five over the same span. It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> with a Giants-Diamondbacks prediction and pick.</p><h2><b>Giants-Diamondbacks Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>Mason Black</b> vs. <b>Zac Gallen</b></p><p><b>Mason Black</b> is 1-4 with a 5.88 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP.</p><p>Black’s last start was on the road against the Kansas City Royals, leaving with a 2-1 win and his first victory of the season.

The Giants have been enjoying playing the role of spoiler, and they could do it again in this game.</p><p>Mason Black has been steadily improving recently and has been particularly good over his last four starts. He had one bad game against the San Diego Padres where he allowed four earned runs, but the other three starts have seen him record two or fewer earned runs. He saved his best for the last outing, with a 5 2/3 scoreless gem against the Royals. The Giants will need Black at his best to slow down the Diamondbacks’ offense.</p><h2><b>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Zac Gallen’s start in this game will align him to pitch in Game 1 of the postseason. Gallen was peaking at the right time a couple of starts ago when he had back-to-back scoreless outings against the Texas Rangers and Giants. However, he struggled in his last two starts, allowing seven earned runs over ten innings. Gallen’s start against the Giants on September 4th was impressive, and this would be a perfect opportunity for him to get back on track before the postseason if the Diamondbacks can hold on to their playoff spot.</p><h2><b>Final Giants-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Diamondbacks are in a must-win situation as they are in danger of not making the postseason. They’ll need to win the remaining matchups with the Giants, as they have a difficult series against the Padres to finish the year. Take the Diamondbacks to take care of their business in this game.</p><p><b>Final Giants-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick: Diamondbacks -1.5 (-105)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They haven&#8217;t made the Postseason since 2021 and after all their success during the 2010&#8217;s, the Giants have been in the middle of the pack in terms of contending for a World Series. Still, they&#8217;re playing well as the season winds down and they&#8217;ve won five of their last six games while notching three shut-outs during that stretch. They also come into this series following an impressive sweep over the Postseason-bound Kansas City Royals, so they&#8217;ll have a chance to stun another formidable team as the betting underdogs here.</p><p>The Giants will send Logan Webb to the mound for his thirty-third and likely final start of the season. He ranks in the top-30 for record, ERA, and strikeouts in the MLB this season and has arguably been San Francisco&#8217;s most consistent starter. He&#8217;s had a rough month of September, recording four starts and notching just one win during that time. His last time out was cut short as he allowed three runs through five innings, but he managed to punch-out eight batters and had a solid outing with his breaking pitches. Last time he pitched against this Arizona lineup, he went for seven scoreless innings and struck out five batters.</p><h2><strong>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</strong></h2><p>The Arizona Diamondbacks are currently third in the NL West and they&#8217;re firmly holding onto position atop the National League Wild Card race. They&#8217;ve won five of their last eight games including four consecutive wins and a 3-1 series win over the Milwaukee Brewers. After their World Series run from a year ago, the Diamondbacks are primed once again to make a deep Postseason run as they look to have one of the more explosive offenses in the field of competition. Most recently, they allowed the Brewers to come back from a nine-run deficit, so this series will be crucial in tightening up their pitching and working out any kinks before they enter Postseason competition.</p><p>Arizona will send Brendon Pfaadt to the mound for his thirty-first start of the season. He has a very solid 6-4 record when pitching at home and despite allowing a decent amount of runs during that stretch, his teammates have been able to bail him out with solid performances from the plate. He faced the Brewers last series and allowed just one run through seven innings while notching a season-high 12 total strikeouts. Expect him to have another great day from the mound as he dials his game before the Postseason.</p><h2><strong>Final Giants-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick</strong></h2><p>The Arizona Diamondbacks lead this season series 6-4 and they&#8217;ll be even more determined to pick up wins here as they&#8217;re holding onto an NL Wild Card spot. We&#8217;ve seen their offense consistently rank among the tops in the MLB and if they&#8217;re able to get off to a hot start here, they should find enough fun support to overtake the Giants&#8217; efforts from the plate.</p><p>Logan Webb has been a very solid option for the Giants this season, but he&#8217;s shown tendencies to get rocked early in innings. Against a lineup like that of Arizona&#8217;s, he can&#8217;t afford to make his team play from behind on the road.</p><p>For our final prediction, we&#8217;ll have to roll with the Arizona Diamondbacks to pick up this win as they continue their success over the Giants. We like Brendon Pfaadt as the more consistent starter here and his ability to strike batters out this season has truly been impressive &#8211; look for those trends to continue during this game.</p><p><strong>Final Giants-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks ML (-152)</strong></p>    </body></html>

But they knew their methods would not yield the same improbable results in 2024.</p><p>Instead of reveling in a surprise World Series appearance and just being content, the front office made several moves in the offseason to position itself for another championship pursuit. Arizona has still been subjected to lulls and dizzying fluctuation, but its winter aggression is seemingly paying off. With six regular season games left in 2024, the team has already claimed 87 victories.</p><p>Torey Lovullo and company cannot comfortably pack their bags for a playoff trip by any means, but they are proving they are not just a good story, or a product of the modified system. The Diamondbacks are aiming to be an NL fixture for the next several years. Another prosperous October would solidify their status as fierce threats rather than a one-year nuisance.</p><p>But make no mistake, this group still has to whip up some postseason magic and maybe lure Lady Luck into the desert for a night or two. The reigning NL kings could benefit greatly by avoiding one specific obstacle.</p><h2><strong>Diamondbacks&#8217; biggest nightmare draw is the Padres</strong></h2><p><figure id="attachment_3045433" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3045433" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-3045433" src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Padres-stars-Fernando-Tatis-Jr.-and-Manny-Machado-celebrate.jpg" alt="San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (right) and designated hitter Fernando Tatis Jr. (23) celebrate on the field after defeating the Houston Astros at Petco Park." width="1024" height="574" srcset="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Padres-stars-Fernando-Tatis-Jr.-and-Manny-Machado-celebrate.jpg 1200w, https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Padres-stars-Fernando-Tatis-Jr.-and-Manny-Machado-celebrate.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Padres-stars-Fernando-Tatis-Jr.-and-Manny-Machado-celebrate.jpg?resize=768,431 768w, https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Padres-stars-Fernando-Tatis-Jr.-and-Manny-Machado-celebrate.jpg?resize=1024,574 1024w, https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Padres-stars-Fernando-Tatis-Jr.-and-Manny-Machado-celebrate.jpg?resize=150,84 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3045433" class="wp-caption-text">Orlando Ramirez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure></p><p>The San Diego Padres have been a volatile franchise in recent years. President of baseball operations AJ Preller&#8217;s undying determination to go star-searching has produced both exceptional and disastrous results. Individual accolades are sometimes brought in at the expense of club chemistry, which as 2023 showed, can result in painfully unmet expectations.</p><p>Preller kick-started a sizable renovation project in the offseason, but he did not take a hammer to the entire foundation. Although San Diego bid farewell to superstar Juan Soto, it added strikeout machine Dylan Cease, dependable right-handed pitcher Michael King, homer-happy Kyle Higashioka and, eventually, soon-to-be three-time batting champion Luis Arraez in trades while also reuniting with a reinvigorated Jurickson Profar via free agency.</p><p>Promoting Mike Shildt to the managerial position has worked brilliantly, with the Padres exuding a completely different aura in 2024. They continued to invest at the trade deadline, strengthening an already reliable bullpen by acquiring All-Star reliever Tanner Scott. Their gambles are paying off, the most notable one being the insertion of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-jackson-merrill-beat-paul-skenes-2024-nl-roy-award">Rookie of the Year favorite Jackson Merrill</a> into center field on a full-time basis.</p><p>And we cannot forget about <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-news-fernando-tatis-jr-reacts-manny-machados-epic-night-astros">the Padres&#8217; mainstays</a>. Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. are looking more like their old selves following underwhelming offensive showings last season, while five-time All-Star Yu Darvish regains his form after dealing with a groin injury for much of the year. The pieces are fitting together quite nicely right now on San Diego, and that spells trouble for teams that are still working through some issues.</p><p>Translation: the Diamondbacks do not want to play their divisional foe in the NL Wild Card Series. They might be too exposed at that time.</p><h2><strong>Arizona has too many question marks on its pitching staff</strong></h2><p><figure id="attachment_3045425" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3045425" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-3045425" src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jordan-Montgomery-takes-the-mound.jpg" alt="Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (52) pitches in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field." width="1024" height="574" srcset="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jordan-Montgomery-takes-the-mound.jpg 1200w, https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jordan-Montgomery-takes-the-mound.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jordan-Montgomery-takes-the-mound.jpg?resize=768,431 768w, https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jordan-Montgomery-takes-the-mound.jpg?resize=1024,574 1024w, https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jordan-Montgomery-takes-the-mound.jpg?resize=150,84 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3045425" class="wp-caption-text">Benny Sieu-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure></p><p>The D-backs&#8217; starting pitching rotation was alarmingly thin going into last year&#8217;s playoffs, with the young and largely unproven Brandon Pfaadt serving as the No. 3 behind Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly. The bullpen was loaded with erratic arms and high ERAs. Logic indicated that the staff would eventually implode, especially when confronted with the Phillies and Dodgers&#8217; imposing lineups. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-news-torey-lovullo-bullpen-admission-game-1-win-vs-brewers">Torey Lovullo knew just what buttons to press</a>, however.</p><p>The skipper instilled confidence in his pitchers and did an exemplary job of managing them throughout that mystical October. Although he should theoretically have more talent and depth at his disposal in the 2024 postseason, Lovullo must rediscover that magical touch if Arizona is going to overcome <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-fatal-flaw-prevent-winning-world-series">its glaring limitations</a> once again.</p><p>Flashy free agent acquisitions Jordan Montgomery and Eduardo Rodriguez have each endured hardship since venturing into the desert, Gallen looked shaky in his last two starts and Kelly left Saturday&#8217;s game with a calf cramp. The Diamondbacks&#8217; relief pitchers, aside from midseason addition AJ Puk, are also unreliable right now.</p><p>Justin Martinez has the knockout-fastball to overpower hitters in big games, but the 22-year-old&#8217;s control and command issues are beginning to reflect in the scoreboard. Fellow right-hander Ryan Thompson and southpaw Joe Mantiply, both of whom received plenty of work during the 2023 run, are floundering as well. They gave up a combined five runs in Sunday&#8217;s 10-9 loss versus the Milwaukee Brewers (Diamondbacks led 8-0 in third inning).</p><p>Despite that frightening collapse in American Family Field, the Snakes can survive their deficiencies against the NL Central champions and slither their way past the Wild Card round. The Brewers&#8217; lineup contains intriguing versatility and speed, similar to last season&#8217;s Goliath-slaying Arizona club, but it is also rife with inexperience. The Padres are scarier.</p><h2><strong>D-backs need to fix their issues before facing Padres</strong></h2><p>Arizona has beaten San Diego in three of the last four matchups between the teams and will have three more chances to best its NL West rival at the end of next week. That being said, based on how the Diamondbacks&#8217; pitchers are presently performing, the Padres are a dangerous draw in the opening round of the playoffs.</p><p>Until some combination of Gallen, Kelly, Rodriguez or Montgomery can prove that they are at their best, this club should benefit most by facing either the Brewers, New York Mets or even the Atlanta Braves. San Diego is the only team with a better collective batting average than Arizona (.265 to .264) and also possesses multiple relievers like Robert Suarez, Tanner Scott and Jeremiah Estrada who can suffocate hitters in the later innings. It can match the defending NL champs&#8217; biggest strength and attack their biggest weakness. That is quite nightmarish, no?</p><p>The Padres contain uncertainties in their starting rotation, to be fair, but Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Arraez and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-news-jackson-merrill-becomes-first-mlb-player-to-accomplish-clutch-feat">supremely clutch Jackson Merrill</a> lead a capable offense that can hurt pitchers in multiple ways. In high-scoring showdowns, the bullpen will become a crucial factor. While history proves that the Diamondbacks have the arms to prevail, I cannot ignore what I am seeing at this moment.</p><p>A get-right series does not exist in the playoffs, but a lineup with Ketel Marte, Christian Walker, Corbin Carroll, Eugenio Suarez, the returning Lourdes Gurriel Jr., a rejuvenated Joc Pederson, an underrated Geraldo Perdomo, a surging Gabriel Moreno and the sublimely swift Jake McCarthy can push the team through a series.</p><p>After that, though, the Snakes will have to be moving at full force if they want to outlast the rest of the field for a second year in a row.</p>    </body></html>

Predictably, things have not gone well this season, as they came into the day trailing the final wildcard spot by 10 games. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-call-up-top-prospect-after-just-9-double-a-games" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Calling up a top prospect</a> is probably the most exciting thing going on for the Giants right now. They need all the help they can get, especially on offense.</p><p>Heliot Ramos has been one of the lone bright spots in this lineup, leading the Giants in home runs. Also, he has done well against the Diamondbacks, batting .350 with seven hits, two home runs, five RBIs, and four runs over six games. Ramos is simply elite at the plate and will eventually be the one to lead them back to the playoffs. For now, he is playing out the regular season and hopes to play spoiler against the Giants.</p><p>Mark Canha is not a threatening hitter. Yet, he can still pack a punch at the plate. Lamonte Wade Jr. has battled injuries and struggles this season. But he is still a solid hitter. Wade has struggled against the Diamondbacks, batting .222 with 32 hirs, seven home runs, 19 RBIs, and 20 runs over 45 games.</p><p>Birdsong has not produced a quality start since July 21. Unfortunately, he has just not been able to get the job done. When Birdsong exits the game, he will turn it over to a bullpen that is 16th in baseball in team ERA. Camilo Doval has been the closer and has struggled this season, going 5-3 with a 5.24 ERA and 23 saves.</p><p>The Giants will cover the spread if Wade and Canha can both clobber the baseball and get on base while Ramos batters the baseball into the seats. Also, they need Birdsong to fly high and make good pitches to avoid allowing the Giants to fall behind.</p><h2><strong>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</strong></h2><p>The Diamondbacks are one of the top-hitting teams in the league. Ultimately, this is one reason they have remained in the NL&#8217;s final wildcard spot. The Diamondbacks must continue to hit the ball well if they are to make the playoffs.</p><p>Corbin Carroll struggled at the start of the season. However, there has been a slight improvement over the last few weeks. Carroll has struggled against the Giants throughout his career. Unfortunately, he is batting just .213 with 23 hits, one home run, seven RBIs, and 18 runs over 28 games against the Giants. Christian Walker remains a consistent threat at the plate. Also, he is hitting .257 with six home runs, 39 RBIs, and 40 runs over 95 games against the Giants. Ketel Marte leads the team in home runs. Likewise, he has done well against the Diamondbacks, batting .304 with 109 hits, 14 home runs, 45 RBIs, and 54 runs over 94 games.</p><p>Rodriguez has just one quality start this season, and it happened in his last start. Can he replicate it? That is the question as he comes into a battle with the Giants. When Rodriguez exits, he will hand the game ball over to a struggling bullpen that is just 24th in baseball in team ERA. With Paul Sewald out with an injury, there has been a vacancy in the closer&#8217;s spot.</p><p>The Diamondbacks will cover the spread if their hitters can batter the baseball and drive runners home. Then, they need another quality start from Rodriguez.</p><h2><strong>Final Giants-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick</strong></h2><p>The Giants are 76-80 against the run line, while the Diamondbacks are 81-75. Additionally, the Giants are 42-35 against the run line on the road, while the Diamondbacks are 34-41 at home. The Diamondbacks lead the head-to-head series 6-4, including a 2-1 record at home against the Giants. I like the Diamondbacks in this one because they have the better pitcher and have more motivation to win. Take the D-Backs.</p><p><strong>Final Giants-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks: -1.5 (+114)</strong></p>    </body></html>

He is a very good pitcher, and that has shown in the month of September. In three starts this month, Gallen has thrown 16 innings, allowed just eight hits, struck out 22 batters, and he has a 1.69 ERA. His breaking ball is one of the best in the MLB, and the Diamondbacks need that to continue. If he can have another good start against the Brewers, the Diamondbacks are going to win this game.</p><p>Arizona has been able to hit the ball really well this season. They are second in the MLB in batting average, and they lead the MLB in slugging percentage. They are fourth in home runs, third in triples, and ninth in doubles, which is why their slugging percentage is high. Arizona was able to hit the ball well in their first series with Milwaukee, that just has to continue in this game. If they can do that, the Diamondbacks are going to win.</p><h2><b>Why The Brewers Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Milwaukee crushed the ball in their first series with the Diamondbacks. They scored a total of 27 runs in those three games, which makes it very easy to win. When Milwaukee scores just four runs in a game, they are 66-20. Milwaukee has already clinched the NL Central, so they can stop of the gas a little bit in terms of resting some starters for the postseason, but they should still be able to hit the ball well. If they can get to just four or five runs, they will have a good chance to win this game.</p><p>Colin Rea is back in a starter role after earning a save against the Philadelphia Phillies a few days ago. Rea is a better pitcher at home this season, and the Brewers need that to continue in this game. Arizona is not playing their best right now, so Rea should be able to at least keep the Brewers in the game. If he can do that, the Brewers will win.</p><h2><b>Final Diamondbacks-Brewers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This is two good teams going at it, and they both have something to play for. The Brewers can still earn themselves a first-round bye in the playoffs, so they should still play hard. The Diamondbacks are fighting to stay in the playoff race as they are in third place. For this game, I am going to take the Diamondbacks to win straight up.</p><p><b>Final Diamondbacks-Brewers Prediction &amp; Pick: Diamondbacks ML (-126)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Find out how to watch Diamondbacks Brewers.</p><p>The Arizona Diamondbacks are fortunate that the Atlanta Braves have had such a hard time finishing games in recent days. The Braves were tied 2-2 with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the bottom of the eighth inning on Sunday Night Baseball and had runners at second and third with no outs. Atlanta was in prime position to win that game, but it couldn’t score those runners. It then allowed seven runs to the Dodgers in the top of the ninth to lose that game. The Braves then blew a 5-1 lead to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night in a 6-5 loss. We mention those two Atlanta losses because that’s the margin by which Arizona is still in position to make the playoffs. The D-Backs are tied with the New York Mets, two games ahead of Atlanta for the final wild card spot. If the Braves had won those two very winnable games, the Diamondbacks would be tied for the last wild card spot and in real danger of missing the playoffs. Arizona is still not home free, but those Atlanta losses have enabled Arizona to maintain a small cushion heading into the final week and a half of the season.</p><p>Now Arizona faces a real test, a four-game series on the road against the National League Central Division champion Milwaukee Brewers, who won two of three in Arizona last weekend and very nearly swept the D-Backs. Arizona was down 8-5 in the seventh and 10-8 in the 10th but rallied to win 11-10. That win could become the difference between Arizona making and missing the playoffs, but the D-Backs now need to at least split this four-game set to enter the final week in a decent position. One complication for Arizona is that the Braves play the Miami Marlins. Atlanta could gain ground, so the Diamondbacks need to make sure they don’t lose three of four in Wisconsin, having just lost two of three to the lowly Colorado Rockies in Denver.</p><p>It’s getting tight in the wild card race. Arizona needs to get some work done this weekend in Milwaukee.</p><h2><b>Diamondbacks-Brewers Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>Brandon Pfaadt </b>vs. <b>Tobias Myers</b></p><p><b>Brandon Pfaadt</b> (9-9) has a 4.81 ERA. He was such an important part of the Diamondbacks’ playoff success last year, but Pfaadt really hasn’t taken the next step in his evolution this year. He hasn’t made the kind of progress the D-Backs were hoping for. However, if he can come up big in his final few starts of the regular season and make sure that Arizona reaches the playoffs, he will enter October knowing he is capable of doing something special in the postseason once again.</p><p>Last Start: Saturday, September 14 versus the Milwaukee Brewers: 1 2/3 IP, 7 H, 8 R, 1 HR, 3 BB, 0 K</p><p>2024 Road Splits: 15 starts, 86 1/3 IP, 85 H, 45 R, 10 HR, 22 BB, 78 K</p><p><b>Tobias Myers</b> (8-5) has a 3.07 ERA. The Brewers’ division championship season has been built on the backs of performances by unsung heroes such as Myers. This is how Milwaukee has replaced Corbin Burnes and not lost a step. Myers has been a sensation for this team, pitching to a three-run ERA with workmanlike consistency. He will get the ball for Milwaukee in a potential wild card series, which could occur against Arizona (the team which faced and beat the Brewers in the wild card series last year).</p><p>Last Start: Saturday, September 14 versus the Arizona Diamondbacks: 6 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 1 HR, 0 BB, 3 K</p><p>2024 Home Splits: 11 starts, 61 1/3 IP, 50 H, 23 R, 10 HR, 13 BB, 61 K</p><p><b><i>Here are the Diamondbacks-Brewers <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB Odds</a>, courtesy of FanDuel. </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Diamondbacks-Brewers Odds</b></h2><p>Arizona Diamondbacks: -1.5 (+150)</p><p>Moneyline: -102</p><p>Milwaukee Brewers: +1.5 (-182)</p><p>Moneyline: -116</p><p>Over: 8 (-122)</p><p>Under: 8 (+100)</p><h2><b>How to Watch Diamondbacks vs. Brewers</b></h2><p>Time: 7:15 p.m. ET/4:15 p.m. PT</p><p>TV: Fox</p><p>Stream: fuboTV <b>(<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">Free trial</a>)</b></p><h2><b>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Milwaukee just clinched its division. The Brewers might have a celebration hangover. They don’t need this game nearly as much as Arizona does. That could be a huge factor.</p><h2><b>Why The Brewers Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Brewers still have an incentive to win: Catching the Dodgers for the No. 2 seed and a wild card bye is still in play.

Carroll also became just the 11th player with multiple 20-20 seasons by his age-23 season, joining Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez as the most recent to accomplish the feat.</p><p>With 29 steals so far, if Carroll, who stole 54 bases last season, is able to record one more before the regular season ends, he would become the first Diamondback to record consecutive 20-30 seasons.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/corbin-carroll-mlb-5-biggest-disappointments-april">Things were looking disastrous for Carroll</a> to start the season, and people were beginning to doubt whether or not the promise he showed during his rookie season was real. To see him be able to turn it around shows a level of maturity rarely seen for such a young player, and proves that he is a cornerstone of a Diamondbacks team looking to make it back to the World Series.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, they’re the only team to cross the plate more than 800 times in 2024. Helping <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-news-christian-walker-ties-bonkers-dodgers-record-with-another-home-run">lead the charge is first baseman Christian Walker</a>.</p><p>However, Walker is set to be a free agent following the campaign. Playing in Arizona for the past eight seasons, Walker admits that he is entering murky, <a href="https://x.com/FoulTerritoryTV/status/1836140570634281464" rel="noopener">yet exciting waters</a>, via Foul Territory.</p><p>“It’s overwhelming in the best way,” Walker said.</p><p>“Looking back on the career and how much emotion has gone into this, how much sacrifice. Not just me but my family My wife following me around all those years and sticking with me,” Walker continued. “Depending how you look on it, it could be stressful and like so much is out of your control. But maybe you’re in a spot to make a decision for the first time in a long time.”</p><p>“I’m trying to be real about it,” Walker concluded. “Being 33, who knows how many times you get to be in a spot like this. Really just wanting to have fun with it and have nothing but good feelings with it. I’m proud of myself. But I’m proud and thankful for the people around me that has supported me up until this point.”</p><p>Walker will be one of the best power bats available when he enters free agency. On the season, he is hitting .257 with 26 home runs and 79 RBI. The year prior he had 33 long balls and 103 RBI. In 2022, Walker blasted 36 homers and drove in 94 runs. The point is, Walker has proven to be a consistent threat at the plate over the last three seasons.</p><p>Alongside his offense, Christian Walker also provides strong defense at the cold corner. He was a Gold Glover in both 2022 and 2023.</p><p>Coming <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/diamondbacks-most-blame-world-series-defeat-vs-rangers">off of a trip to the World Series</a> and with playoffs on their mind in 2024, the Diamondbacks know how important Walker is to their franchise. Perhaps they reward him with a long-term contract extension after the season.</p><p>But until any ink is dried, Walker will see what’s out there and see where he can cash in after his recent power surge.</p><h2><b>Christian Walker’s rise to Diamondbacks star</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Christian-Walker.jpg"><figcaption>Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Walker was originally selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the fourth-round of the 2012 MLB Draft. He was designated for assignment in 2017 and bounced around a few ball clubs before eventually getting claimed by Arizona.</p><p>He didn’t see much playing time until 2019. But once he did, Walker hit .259 with 29 home runs and 73 RBI. The first baseman proved he can be a major part of the Diamondbacks’ offensive plans moving forward.</p><p>And that is exactly what he has done. Outside of the CO-VID19 shortened 2020 season and the 2021 campaign, Walker has hit at least 25 home runs and driven in 73 runs since 2019. Over his 808 total games with the Diamondbacks, Walker is hitting .252 with 146 RBI and 437 RBI.</p><p>With Arizona finding their playoff stride, they’d surely like to keep Walker in the lineup. But plenty of other teams want to add him to theirs. It’ll be a tricky situation to manage, but Walker is trying to enjoy the free agency ride for potentially the last time.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is hitting .293 this year with 31 home runs, 85 RBIs and 84 runs scored. Eugenio Suarez has also been solid. He is hitting .256 on the year with a .323 on-base percentage.

Carroll has 19 home runs and 67 RBIs while he has scored 111 times. Further, he has stolen 28 bases this year.</p><p>Randal Grichuk has been hot in the last week. He is hitting .625 with two home runs and seven RBIs. He has also scored three times. Eugenio Suarez has also been solid.

He is hitting .400 in the last week with two home runs, five RBIs, and three runs scored.

Meanwhile, Job Pederson is 2-8, while Josh Bell is 2-5 against Feltner.</p><h2><b>Why The Rockies Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Rockies are 20th in the majors in runs scored, while sitting 16th in batting average, 24th in on-base percentage, and 15th in slugging. Brenton Doyle has led the way for the Rockies. He is hitting .264 this year with 22 home runs, 70 RBIs, and 79 runs scored. Further, he has stolen 27 bases. Meanwhile, Ezequiel Tovar has been great this year as well. He is hitting .264 on the year with a .291 on-base percentage. He has 23 home runs, 67 RBIs, and 77 runs scored. Rounding out the top bats on the year is Ryan McMahon. McMahon has hit .245 on the year with a .330 on-base percentage. He has 19 home runs, 61 RBIS, and 65 runs scored.</p><p>Hunter Goodman has been the hot bat in the last week. He is hitting .286 in the last week with two home runs, seven RBIs, and three runs scored. Meanwhile, Brenton Doyle is still driving in runs.

Thye are hitting just .221 in the last week, with eight home runs and 25 runs scored in the last week.</p><h2><b>Final Diamondbacks-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Rockies have been solid in Ryan Feltner’s starts as of late. Since the start of August, he has started six games. He has given up just 14 runs in 28.1 innings of work. Further, the only game the Rockies lost with him on the mound, he went just one innings before leaving with an injury.  Still, the Diamondbacks are hot at the plate. They are hitting almost two home runs per game in the last week while scoring nearly eight runs per game. The Diamondbacks also hit well against Ryan Feltner earlier this year. In the one start against Feltner, the Diamondbacks has five hits, a home run, and two walks. They would score five times on Feltner, with three earned runs.

Find out how to watch Diamondbacks Rockies.</p><p>The Arizona Diamondbacks reminded everyone on Sunday why they are going to be a tough out in the playoffs, assuming that they get there. By winning a game, they increased the odds that they will indeed return to the postseason. September 15, 2024, might be a day we look back on as a turning point for the Diamondbacks in their attempt to defend their National League pennant and get back to the World Series.</p><p>Arizona trailed the Milwaukee Brewers 8-5 after six and a half innings. The D-Backs led 5-0 going into the fifth and then allowed eight quick runs to the Brew Crew. The Diamondbacks were staring at a sweep loss to Milwaukee over the weekend in Phoenix. Had Arizona lost, it would have fallen to 15 games over .500. With the Atlanta Braves being 14 over .500 entering Sunday night, the D-Backs were staring at the possibility of being just half a game ahead of Atlanta for the second wild card and just one game ahead of the New York Mets (13 over .500) for the third and last wild card berth. Arizona was skating perilously close to the edge of the playoff picture after being seemingly secure for several weeks. Arizona’s October future was in real jeopardy.</p><p>The Diamondbacks developed a reputation for punching back when they fell into trouble last season. The ultimate example was falling behind 3-2 in the National League Championship Series and then winning Games 6 and 7 on the road in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Arizona was called the “answer backs” for the uncanny ability to rally from all sorts of deficits.</p><p>This identity was on display against the Brewers on Sunday.</p><p>Arizona erased the 8-5 seventh-inning deficit and sent the game into extra innings. The D-Backs then allowed two to Milwaukee in the top of the 10th. Down 10-8, they still seemed likely to lose. Yet, they responded with three runs in the bottom of the 10th. They were down three runs with nine outs left. They were down two runs with three outs left. They refused to lose. Because the Braves lost on Sunday Night Baseball, Arizona is now 1.5 games ahead of the Braves and Mets for the second wild card spot. Arizona isn’t home-free in the playoff chase, but the D-Backs avoided a situation in which their lead over Atlanta dropped to just half a game.</p><p>Now Arizona will try to take advantage of a series against the lowly Rockies and pad its wild card lead.</p><h2><b>Diamondbacks-Rockies Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>Merrill Kelly </b>vs. <b>Antonio Senzatela</b></p><p><b>Merrill Kelly</b> (4-0) has a 4.26 ERA. He hasn’t been the pitcher he once was before injuries hit him, but he has a few more starts in which he can find his form in time for the playoffs. Arizona will need the best version of Kelly in October … and as we noted above, the D-Backs have to get to October first. This is a very important start for a veteran who knows what his team needs from him at Coors Field.</p><p>Last Start: Wednesday, September 11 versus the Texas Rangers: 4 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 HR, 2 BB, 3 K</p><p>2024 Road Splits: 4 starts, 24 IP, 27 H, 14 R, 3 HR, 8 BB, 21 K</p><p><b>Antonio Senzatela</b> (0-1) has a 4.70 ERA.

Find out how to watch Brewers Diamondbacks.</p><p>The Milwaukee Brewers are closing in on a division championship. They have been in control of the National League Central all season long. They have faced the least pressure to win of any likely playoff team. Manager Pat Murphy, who replaced Craig Counsell in a season in which the Brewers were without staff ace Corbin Burnes — who was traded to the Baltimore Orioles — should clearly be National League Manager of the Year. The Brewers have had a fantastic season, and the past two days, they have looked like a playoff team, shutting down the potent Arizona Diamondbacks in a pair of wins. Friday’s game was razor-close. Saturday’s victory was a blowout. The Brewers know they will be in the playoffs, but they do still have something to play for: If they can catch either the Philadelphia Phillies or Los Angeles Dodgers in the last two weeks of the season, they could get a top-two seed in the National League playoffs and a bye in the wild card series. The odds aren’t good that the Brewers will catch Philly or LA, but they can still give it a shot.</p><p>The Arizona Diamondbacks are in good shape for the playoffs, but their position is hardly set in stone. The D-Backs, by losing the first two games of this series to the Brewers, are now just one game ahead of both New York and Atlanta for the second NL wild card. They trail San Diego by 1.5 games for the first wild card, but their concern right now is to make sure they finish ahead of at least one of the Mets or Braves. Arizona doesn’t have to finish ahead of both New York and Atlanta. Arizona just has to beat out one of those two teams. As long as that happens, the Diamondbacks will play October baseball and will be able to defend their National League pennant this fall. The Mets and Braves will play each other in the home stretch of the season, so the D-Backs know at least one of those two teams will lose a few games. Arizona needs to stabilize in these last two weeks — not playing incredible baseball, but certainly above .500 to guard against the Mets and Braves both overtaking the Snakes and leaving them home for the cold winter.</p><h2><b>Brewers-Diamondbacks Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>DL Hall</b> vs. <b>Zac Gallen</b></p><p><b>DL Hall</b> (1-1) has a 4.01 ERA. Hall last pitched in a relief role, but he has made a few starts for Milwaukee. Whether he is used here as an opener or as a true starter, Hall will try to lead Milwaukee to a sweep of Arizona and make sure the Brewers have a versatile pitcher for the playoffs.</p><p>Last Appearance: Tuesday, September 10 versus the San Francisco Giants: 1 2/3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 1 K (relief)</p><p>2024 Road Splits: 4 starts, 19 2/3 IP, 23 H, 11 R, 4 HR, 10 BB, 14 K</p><p><b>Zac Gallen</b> (12-6) has a 3.55 ERA. He hasn’t dominated this season the way he has in previous seasons, but Gallen is still very good. Moreover, with Arizona’s offense — horrible in April and May but brilliant since the All-Star break — being so noticeably potent, Gallen’s ERA is more than enough to win games. The D-Backs need him to be an ace and a stopper in this situation, with Arizona’s playoff position becoming a little tenuous. This is the kind of situation in which a great pitcher rises to the occasion for his team.</p><p>Last Start: Tuesday, September 10 versus the Texas Rangers: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 2 BB, 7 K</p><p>2024 Home Splits: 13 starts, 72 IP, 66 H, 29 R, 4 HR, 21 BB, 72 K</p><p><b><i>Here are the Brewers-Diamondbacks <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB Odds</a>, courtesy of FanDuel. </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Brewers-Diamondbacks Odds</b></h2><p>Milwaukee Brewers: +1.5 (-156)</p><p>Moneyline: +140</p><p>Arizona Diamondbacks: -1.5 (+130)</p><p>Moneyline: -166</p><p>Over: 8.5 (+100)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-122)</p><h2><b>How to Watch Brewers vs. Diamondbacks</b></h2><p>Time: 4:10 p.m. ET/1:10 p.m. PT</p><p>TV: Bally Sports Wisconsin (Brewers) / MLB (Diamondbacks) / MLB Extra Innings</p><p>Stream: fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">Free trial</a>)</p><h2><b>Why The Brewers Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Milwaukee is playing great ball in Arizona.

Despite not having Devin Williams for half the season, the bullpen has thrived. The starting pitching is still good, even with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-fatal-flaw-prevent-winning-world-series" rel="noopener">some fatal flaws</a>. Additionally, the lineup has gotten even better. The Brewers are also dealing with some injuries. Yet, they remain strong.</p><p>William Contreras has had a good season. Moreover, he has liked hitting against Arizona. Contreras came into the weekend with a mark of .378 with 14 hits, two home runs, six RBIs, and three runs over 10 games against them in his career. Thus, expect him to be a focal part of this lineup. Willy Adames Jr. continues to hit well. Ultimately, he came into the weekend batting .389 with seven hits, two RBIs, and two runs over his past five games against the Diamondbacks.</p><p>Peralta has registered just two quality starts over five outings. Unfortunately, he has labored through long innings, forcing an early exit often. When Peralta eventually leaves this one, he will turn it over to a bullpen that is the second-best in bullpen. Of course, Williams is back and came into the weekend with 11 saves in 12 chances. Trevor Megill still acts as the setup man after notching 20 saves during Williams’ absence. This gives the Brewers an excellent 1-2 punch in the back end of the bullpen.</p><p>The Brewers will cover the spread if their bats can produce early in the game. Then, they need Peralta to avoid laboring through tough innings and strike out some hitters.</p><h2><b>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Diamondbacks remain the top team in the National League Wildcard race despite dealing with an assortment of injuries, including one to top hitter Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Despite that, they have remained competitive.</p><p>Ketel Marte has remained solid for the Diamondbacks. Also, he has thrived against the Brewers, coming into the weekend with a mark of .366 with 41 hits, one home run, 12 RBIs, and 19 runs over 30 games in his career against the Brewers. Corbin Carroll must continue to overcome his sophomore slump and find a way to get on base.</p><p>Rodriguez has not garnered a quality start yet, which has strained a taxed bullpen that is already struggling. When Rodriguez exits, he will turn it over to that taxed bullpen, which is 23rd in team ERA. Paul Sewald is the closer but has struggled this season, going 1-2 with a 4.31 ERA and only 16 saves in 2o chances. Therefore, something has to give, and the Diamondbacks have to better protect leads.</p><p>The Diamondbacks will cover the spread if their bats can spring to life and deliver some early run-scoring. Then, they need Rodriguez to avoid making mistakes down the heart of the plate and find a way to keep the Diamondbacks in the game.</p><h2><b>Final Brewers-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Brewers and Diamondbacks both came into the weekend with a 76-70 mark against the run line. Furthermore, the Brew Crew were 39-36 against the run line on the road, while the DBacks were 34-38 at home. There is a good chance these teams might meet in the playoffs. But first, they must get through these last few games. While Peralta has not been perfect on the road, he has been better than Rodriguez. Additionally, the Brewers are much better at covering the spread on the road. We are picking them to do it again.</p><p><b>Final Brewers-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick: Milwaukee Brewers +1.5 (-166)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The teams matched up in the wildcard round of last postseason, with the Diamondbacks taking two straight games on the road to begin their march to the World Series. The Brewers bought themselves some room with an 8.5-game cushion in the National League Central, which they were thankful for recently with just four wins over their past ten games. The Diamondbacks are maintaining a five-game deficit to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West but lead the wild card. They have won six of their last ten games. It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> with a Brewers-Diamondbacks prediction and pick.</p><h2><b>Brewers-Diamondbacks Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>Tobias Myers</b> vs. <b>Eduardo Rodriguez</b></p><p><b>Tobias Myers</b> is 7-5 with a 2.92 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP.</p><p>Myers’ last start was at home against the Colorado Rockies.

They own a 2.53 ERA over the last three games, which is around 3.5 runs better than the Diamondbacks over that same span. The Brewers also own the edge with their starting pitching in this game, as Myers has allowed two or fewer earned runs in nine of his past ten starts. Myers’ issue of being unable to pitch deep into games is less of a problem with their elite bullpen behind him.</p><p>The Brewers’ offense could be able to wake up against Eduardo Rodriguez and the Diamondbacks’ abysmal bullpen. Rodriguez performed well upon his return on August 7th but has been struggling over his last three games with 12 earned runs over 13 1/3 innings. This matchup will answer the question of if it’s better to have an elite offense or an elite pitching staff.</p><h2><b>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Diamondbacks offense has been lights out over their last ten games, averaging 7.6 runs/nine. They are batting .287 with a .354 on-base percentage. They have a three-game winning streak where they have scored 32 runs against the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers. There has been plenty of offense in Arizona games recently, with eight of the last ten going over the total.</p><h2><b>Final Brewers-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Diamondbacks have been in much better form than the Brewers and could easily win two of three games in this series. However, we’re going to back the Brewers in this matchup thanks to the difference in pitching staffs for each team.

He is exceptionally good at keeping the opposing team off base. Keeping runners off base is an important part of winning games. Bradford has to make sure he continues to keep his walks down, and continues to opposing teams from hitting the ball hard. If Bradford can do that against a good Diamondbacks offense, the Rangers will win.</p><p>Bradford has a great chance to accomplish this as he is lights out right now. Since August 1, Bradford has made seven starts, thrown 40.2 innings, allowed just 29 hits, struck out 37 while walking seven, and he has a 2.88 ERA. Do not read to much into his road splits. With the way he has thrown lately, the Rangers have a great chance to win this game.</p><h2><b>Why The Diamondbacks Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Arizona puts Merrill Kelly on the mound, and he is 4-0, which is great. His performance has not been great lately, but the Rangers are not the best offensive team. Texas is in the bottom-10 in the MLB in batting average, slugging percentage, and barrel percentage. They do not hit the ball very hard, and they do not collect many hits. If Kelly can keep the Rangers from finding barrels, the Diamondbacks are going to win this game.</p><p>Merrill Kelly is coming off a very good start, and he needs to build off that. His August was not good, but that was his return from the IL. He seems to have settled in, and the Diamondbacks really need that for the playoff push. If he is settled in, the Diamondbacks are getting a really good pitcher back. Assuming he builds off his last start, the Diamondbacks will win this game at home.</p><p>Arizona is one of the best offensive teams in the MLB. They are second in batting average, fourth in slugging percentage, fourth in home runs, fifth in walks, and they are seventh-fewest in strikeouts. The Diamondbacks have a tough matchup, but they are a good team at the plate. They should be able to get to Bradford a little bit, and if they do that, they will win this game.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This is a good game, but the Diamondbacks are the better team. Bradford has been good lately, though. I With that said, I do like the Rangers to at least cover the spread in this game.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Diamondbacks Prediction &amp; Pick: Rangers +1.5 (-176)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
