Notes
After losing both ends of the double-header yesterday, the D-backs will attempt to bounce back with another pair of games today. It feels like the stronger line-up will be inVegas, but the home side has the advantage of Burnes as their starting pitcher. It’ll be interesting to see how deep Corbin goes. He threw 47 pitches last time out, though that was only enough to get through 2.1 innings. I’d be expecting 65-70 this time out, though the team may slow play him a bit given his early jump compared to the rest of the rotation.
