Diamondbacks Add OF Bat to Lineup
The Washington Nationals are back in Phoenix this weekend to take on the Diamondbacks. Both teams have been busy having great seasons, but have lately added key components via trades. This weekends series’ will let the teams see where they stack up with each other. Oddsmakers have the Nationals as a -160-moneline favorite. Max Scherzer of the Nationals will face off against Zack Godley of the DBacks. The total is set at 8.5. Arizona traded for Detroit corner outfielder J.D. Martinez on Tuesday. This move will add a right-handed power bat to their lineup. Even with All-Star Paul Goldschmidt, the Dbacks have had trouble against left-handed starters. The Diamondbacks are only 10-12 against lefties this season. The D-backs had lost eight of nine games before winning two out of three at Cincinnati this week. Arizona is 5 1/2 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the NL wild-card race, and tied with Colorado for the other spot. The D-backs have lost eight games in the NL West standings to the Dodgers since July 1.Nationals Added to Bullpen
Washington acquired relievers Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson from the Oakland A’s on Sunday. It was an attempt to strengthen a bullpen that has been the worst in the majors most of the year. Nationals relievers have 14 blown saves so far. They also have a major-league-worst 5.32 ERA. Doolittle converted his first save opportunity in a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. Washington has a comfortable 11-game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. The Nationals will start ace Max Scherzer in the first game this weekend series at Chase Field. The Nationals have won six of seven. Their six-game winning streak ended when they got only one hit against the Angels on Wednesday. Alex Meyer and two relievers handed the Nationals a 7-0 loss.
