Michael Soroka's return to the big leagues and he gets his 2nd start of the season.
Sokoka's return comes after a three-year absence due to two Achilles tears in that time.
I'm sure he'll be on a pitch count again today in this game but we have a major edge with ARZ start Zach Gallen.
He has been lights out at home with an ERA of just 0.66 and his WHIP is 0.73. He is also a perfect 6-0 in six starts at home this season.
Arizona is hitting .273 at home this season and has 102 extra-base hits in 32 home games heading into Saturday. Watch out for the long ball in this one as well, with the D-Backs hitting 27 home runs in 22 afternoon games this season.
The top of their lineup combined for just 1 hit in 14 AB's last night so I expect Arizona to bounce back offensively in this one.
Take the D-Bax.
