This is an 8* play on the Arizona D'Backs.

The Altanta Braves have won a major league worst seven games this season, and they come into Friday's series opener versus Arizona as losers of 11 of 14. It won't get any easier as they face Arizona's ace tonight.

Zack Greinke will toe the slab for the visitors, coming an impressive performance. Greinke (2-2, 5.50 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on eight hits, striking out eight in seven innings, but didn't get a decision against Colorado his last time out. He's completely owned the Braves, going 1-0 with a 0.86 ERA in his last three starts against them.

Atlanta will hand the ball to Aaron Blair, who is making just his third career major league start. The 23 year old allowed a run on two hits and walked three in six innings against the Cubs his last time out. It seems like a tough ask for the rookie to pick up his first major league win opposite Zack Greinke.

The Braves rank dead last in the major leagues in runs scored, and batting average (.224).

Take ARZ.
