Diamondbacks News [MLB] Ryne Nelson ‘a little stiff’ after taking liner off elbow by Steve GilbertLefty Jordan Montgomery, who was in San Francisco on Thursday, will be activated in time to start Friday’s game in his team debut, and the D-backs will need to make a corresponding roster move. While that had figured to be lefty Logan Allen, who was called up prior to Wednesday’s game against the Cubs at Chase Field, they may want to hang...

Logan Webb looked like a CY Young runner-up and Ryne Nelson was injured on a comebacker, making another long evening for a beleaguered bullpen.
If you take a quick look at Logan Webb’s game logs and overall stats for the early season, you’d see the 3.80 ERA and think he’s been struggling compared to what you expect from the CY Young runner-up. But when you dig deeper, you only have one stinker of a performance, 5 runs allowed in 3.2IP...

The Diamondbacks are the better team.
First, let’s put this series in context. The Diamondbacks are the better team and my expectation is that the Diamondbacks will win three games in the four-game series against the Giants.
Why are the Diamondbacks the better team? A few comparisons (in games through 14 April) follow:
Runs Scored per game (5.56 D-backs vs 4.31 Giants) Position Player Wins-Above-Average, WPA (+0.5 D-backs...

Coming off another 2-1 day in strikeout props, we're now 10-2 in our last 12 picks. Let's keep the momentum rolling with three more K props for Thursday's shortened MLB slate.

TL;DR: Early season trends continue as mental defensive miscues, uneven bullpen performance, and lack of late game offense overrides good starting pitching.
In case you went to bed at a reasonable hour or gave up in disgust after a seven run seventh inning rally by the Cubs, you may be pleasantly surprised to see the D-Backs miraculously walked off the game on a Randal Grichuk single in extra...
Back in November, when Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen was laying out his shopping list for the offseason, he was clear his team would need to find a replacement for new free agent Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
The Diamondbacks are in the middle of their rubber game match against the Chicago Cubs. They head to San Fransico to play the division rivals. The Diamondbacks are off to a 9-9 record after 18 games and sitting middle of the pack in the NL West.
The Chicago Cubs entered Wednesday's rubber match wanting to forget the messy loss on Tuesday. A win on Wednesday would ensure a series win as the Cubs get ready to return to Wrigley Field on Thursday. The Cubs couldn't get anything going at the start of the game, but the Arizona Diamondbacks did the opposite.

A wild ride capped with late inning offense sends the Serpientes home happy
That was wild!
Going in, spectators were probably prepared for plenty of runs scored. One sports book set the Over-Under at 10 runs. This game more than doubled that amount of runs.
Tommy Henry took the mound for the Serpientes looking to make his final argument for staying in the rotation once Jordan Montgomery joins the big league club this weekend. His argument was less than...
