This is an 8* play on ARIZONA

This should be a successful series for Arizona, who have yet to face last place Miami this season. The Diamondbacks need wins right now as they look to chase down the Wild Card teams in the National League. They've played better than you think; a +64 run differential actually ranks third best in the whole NL! As for the Marlins, they easily have the worst record (38-62) and run differential (-100) in the Senior Circuit. Making matters even harder for them on Friday is Arizona will have Zack Greinke on the mound. Greinke has dominated Miami in 12 career appearances, going 7-0 with a 3.19 ERA. He was 2-0 with a 0.66 ERA in two starts against them last season. The Marlins have scored the fewest runs in the NL this year and Sandy Alcantara is unlikely to outduel Greinke considering his ERA (6.48) and WHIP (1.74) from his last three outings. Arizona took 6 of 7 from Miami last year and a sweep this weekend would not surprise us. At the very least, they're winning this game. Play on ARIZONA
