The Arizona Diamondbacks had won seven 10 prior to the opener of this four-game series on Monday, including a 3-0 sweep at Colorado over the weekend.

The Pittsburgh Pirates meanwhile had dropped seven of their last 10 and righty Trevor Williams (5-3, 4.18 ERA) has been throwing meatballs lately, giving up four runs or more in four of his last six starts. He conceded four through just three innings against the Dodgers his last time out.

Clay Buchholz (1-1, 1.88 ERA) will toe the slab for the D'Backs. The right-hander scattered seven hits and two runs over six frames in a no-decision against the Giants his last time out while striking out seven and only allowing one free pass.

Free pick on Arizona Diamondbacks.
