Arizona (34-34) continues its East Coast trip to Cincinnati (32-35) for a three-game weekend series. Both teams come into this series cold, but nothing like a heatwave to get these teams going.
The Diamondbacks have lost three straight games and five of the last six. Arizona’s longest losing streak of the season is four, so they are at jeopardy of tying that with a loss today. Over the past 13 games, Arizona’s pitching rotation has a 5.38 ERA (24th) and the third-worst OBA (.286). The offense isn’t much better with the worst batting average in that span (.198).
Cincinnati is 1-6 in the last seven games and 3-10 over the previous 13 contests. Like the Diamondbacks, the Reds pitching rotation hasn’t been the sharpest tool in the shed with a 5.32 ERA (23rd) over the last 12 games and a .272 OBA (25th). Oddly, Cincinnati ranks 28th in batting average at home (.221) and have a 4.99 ERA (27th), which are both worse than their road numbers.
