Result: Win
Play: Over
Rating: 10*

The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Atlanta Braves 9-8 in the series opener at Chase Field on Monday. I expect another slugfest Tuesday night.

Archie Bradley (4-8, 5.04) takes the ball for Arizona. He's surrendered 22 runs (18 earned) and 29 hits through 18 innings in his last four starts combined. Bradley gave up five runs in five innings in his only career start against Atlanta last season.

Rob Whalen (1-2, 5.73 ERA) takes the ball for Atlanta. The 22 year old rookie will make his fifth start in the majors, and he's given up plenty of runs in previous starts. He's never made it out of the sixth inning and the Braves' bullpen has been forced to work overtime lately.

Over is 5-0 in Braves last five road games. Over is 20-6 in Diamondbacks last 26 home games. Over is 4-0-1 in the last five head-to-head meetings in Arizona.
