Arizona Diamondbacks
Wednesday, the Arizona Diamondbacks will start Merrill Kelly on the mound. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 4.37 ERA in his four starts. In 22.2 innings of work, Kelly 11 earned runs and 22 hits, but has 22 strikeouts. However, he’s been somewhat all over the place with the ball, as he’s also walked 14 batters.
2nd in the NL West, Arizona’s not in bad shape despite being just a game over .500. The D-Backs love to score runs, averaging 5.35 runs per game. The regular batting order, for the most part, is hitting extremely well. The only outlier has been Wilmer Flores — the second baseman is batting just .206 with a single RBI.

The star has been left fielder David Peralta, who’s batting .340 with three homers and 14 RBIs. He has 33 hits in 97 at-bats. The 31-year-old has proven dangerous all season long in that 6th spot.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Despite having a better record than Arizona, the Pirates couldn’t be a more different ball club when it comes to scoring prowess. The Pirates average just 3.6 runs per game — they’ve scored a total of 72 in 20 games.
This team gets by thanks to strong defense and pitching, allowing just 3.55 runs per game. The difference is pretty minuscule, and that could come back to haunt Pittsburgh down the stretch.

Wednesday, the Pirates will start Jordan Lyles on the mound. Lyles has been strong to start his season, posting a 2-0 record and a brilliant 0.53 ERA. In 17 innings, he’s given up just a single earned run and 17 hits. He’s recorded 18 strikeouts to just five walks in that span. Lyles could certainly be the one to finally stifle that electric Arizona offense.

Free Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Prediction:
This game won’t come down to Lyles on the mound for Pittsburgh. I think he’ll pitch extremely well, but the bullpen will ultimately let the home side down. Arizona just has too many good hitters who are high in confidence right now. D-Backs take the win in a pretty close game.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Arizona ML (+119)
Lyles on the mound certainly accounts for Pittsburgh’s moneyline, but I actually think Arizona wins this one. With an underdog ML like that, I’ll put some money on the D-Backs to win outright.
