I’m on the Diamondbacks at home vs the Rangers for these reasons:

- Diamondbacks are the best vs Lefties, and Cody Bradford is a lefty that doesn’t miss enough bats per inning for me to be concerned about him giving Arizona too many issues in his innings pitched. Bradford hasn't even started against good enough batting teams for me to fear him, and over 80% of Arizona hit .230 and better vs lefties.

- Bradford is 1-1 on the road this season, with an ERA of 4.85 away from home. Safe to say he should be good but not as elite as we are accustomed to seeing him.

- On the flip side, Merrill Kelly is a good pitcher to have on the defensive side for the Diamondbacks in this battle. He’s not been as efficient as Cody Bradford, but he’s much more dangerous at home, with his 2-0 record, 3.10 Home ERA, and better fielding unit and bullpen to back him up.
