Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona got hammered 12-1 in the series opener but that does not change the fact that right now they are the ones giving the strongest push to the Dodgers in the NL West. A big reason why is a 13-8 road record so far. Key to that has been an offense that is normally strong – they are 4th in scoring. Ketel Marte has been an early source of power. He has 9 dingers after hitting a career best 14 a year ago.

Robbie Ray is doing what he does – striking out lots of guys and walking lots of guys all while being hard to square up. His splits show no particular pattern other than he walks a lot more guys on the road. He gives up a lower homer rate though as he works through the challenges he creates. They need Archie Bradley to find his form if they want to have a more elite bullpen.
Tampa Bay Rays
Tampa now feels the Yankees coming after them in the AL East. They are the top pitching team in the Majors and can score some runs but their margin for error is still not going to be great. Austin Meadows is off to a great start but he has missed time challenging their depth. Brandon Lowe leads the team in average and already has more homers than a year ago. He is one of the more productive second basemen in the league.

Charlie Morton has been as good as expected in his first season with the Rays. He is 3-0 and the Rays have a 5-2 record in his starts. The “magic” from Houston has extended to Tampa and in his last two starts he has got his pitch count over 100. If you use WAR as a measure than Tampa has the best bullpen in Majors. I am not sure that is the best way to measure but they are a solid group for sure.
