The Diamondbacks responded in a big way to getting swept by the Dodgers by pulling off a sweep of their own against the Tigers.

They plated 17 runs in that series, with Corbin Carroll being the catalyst. He collected five hits in that series, including two home runs.

The Braves hand the ball to Reynaldo Lopez. The right-hander had a bounce-back year in 2024, pitching to a 3.91 expected ERA before injuries cost him most of 2025. He looked good, limiting the Royals to one run on three hits over six innings. The Diamondbacks counter with Ryne Nelson, who got shelled by the Dodgers in his first start, while Arizona's bullpen has the fourth-worst xERA in baseball.

While nobody is hitting quite as badly as the Giants right now, the Mets are going through their own issues at the plate, scoring 3.83 runs per game so far. New third baseman Bo Bichette somehow has a .249 OPS, while Francisco Lindor is hitting .143. Overall, New York is hitting .162 with runners in scoring position to start the year.

Mets starter David Peterson showed a little regression in the second half of 2025 but came out strong in his first start this season, throwing 5.1 innings of shutout ball. The Giants have struggled even more against left-handed pitching this year, so I like New York to pick up the win tonight.
