Washington Nationals
Tied with St. Louis for the final NL wildcard spot, the Washington Nationals shored their leaky bullpen at Wednesday’s trade deadline. The Nationals added trusted relief arms Daniel Hudson, Hunter Strickland and Roenis Elias in a move to erase Atlanta’s 6.5 game NL East lead. Though, Atlanta made their own moves to strengthen what should become a hotly-contested division race.
And the Braves tightened thier grip with a 5-4 Wednesday night extra innings victory over Washington. That loss, the Nationals’ fifth in seven games, encapsulated the reasoning behind their recent trade activities.

Tonight, facing fellow NL Wildcard hopeful Arizona, usual middle-reliever Joe Ross (0-3, 9.85 ERA) gets the start. Atlanta chased Ross during his lone 2019 start knocking the veteran around for eight hits and three runs through five innings.
Washington is 6-13 this season when Ross appears.
Arizona Diamondbacks
After acquiring up-and-coming prospect Zac Gallen this week, Arizona parted ways with staff ace Zack Grienke while sending the former Cy Young winner to Houston for a slew of prospects. Trailing the final NL wildcard by 3.5 games, though 2-4 in their last six, it appears Arizona has an eye on rebuilding after spending much of the past six seasons below .500
Former All Star Robbie Ray (9-7, 3.91 ERA) opens tonight for Arizona. Ray is 4-1 in his last five starts, allowing just twelve runs in the 30.1 innings pitched during that stretch.
Arizona is 12-11 when Ray starts.

Sporting a top-ten offense and ERA, and with Ray streaking, Arizona looks a bit better on paper than Philadelphia.
Further the Diamondbacks hold a 2-1 head-to-head lead this year vs. Philly.
