The set-up: The Arizona D'backs shocked most in MLB by going 93-69 last season, 'flipping' their record from the previous season, when the team went 69-93. Arizona was 24-11 in games played through May 8 to open the current season but then lost six in a row before ending its skid with a 2-1 home win over Milwaukee. The one-run victory did little to 'stop the bleeding,' as Arizona is now back on its second six-game losing streak of the month, after losing the first two of a three-game series with the Brewers. The D'backs scored a total of just nine runs during their first six-game slide and the offense remains in the tank this time around as well, scored only 10 runs. Overall, Arizona has failed to score more than two runs in 10 of its last 12 games. Meanwhile, Milwaukee won two of three in Arizona as part of its current 9-3 streak and now looks to complete a three-game sweep of the stumbling Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon, as the Brewers go for a road sweep. They have won four straight series to ascend to the top of the National League Central while also knocking the Arizona Diamondbacks out of first place in the NL West. After mashing three HRs in a 4-2 series-opening win, the Brewers could only muster a sacrifice fly by Domingo Santana on Tuesday but that stood up in a 1-0 victory.

The pitching matchup: The Diamondbacks will send Zack Godley (4-3, 3.78 ERA) to the mound, while the Brewers send lefty Brent Suter (3-3, 4.72 ERA) to the hill. Godley enters this contest on a four-game winless streak (he is 0-2 and the team is 1-3). He permitted three runs (one earned) on only four hits over six innings his last time out against the Mets (a 3-1 Arizona loss), as he continued to struggle with his control. Godley walked four batters against New York and has allowed 22 over his last seven starts. However, Godley has been superb in four appearances (three starts) against Milwaukee, posting a 2-0 record and 1.42 ERA. As for Suter, he is coming off his longest outing of 2018, picking up an 8-3 victory at Minnesota on Friday by holding the Twins to one run on five hits while striking out a season-high six in 5 2/3 innings. His previous three appearances -- two in relief and a start on short rest -- came in a span of nine days.

The pick: Godley opened the season 4-1 with a 3.81 ERA through his first five starts but has gone 0-2 with a 3.75 mark in his last four outings. Can he get it turned around? Can the D'backs? The Brewers have won nine of their last 12 games and are 13-6 this month to move 11 games above .500. They've won 30 games, most among National League teams, and reached that mark faster than any other team in franchise history. However, while the team's ptchwork pitching staff has overachieved, Suter has been a weak link. Suter began the year in the rotation, then moved to bullpen when Wade Miley was brought off the DL. However, when Miley was hurt again, Suter moved back into the rotation.Arizona's lineup should I(will?) get to him here, as he is allowing the opposition to hit .321 with runners on base and .304 with runners in scoring position and two outs. Make Arizona an 8* play.
