Arizona Diamondbacks Analysis

Merrill Kelly will be starting for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon. Despite some initial struggles this season, Kelly has been pitching well lately, allowing two or fewer runs in four of his past five outings. The Diamondbacks, currently hovering just above .500, have been relying on their strong offense to keep them competitive in the tough NL West division. Geraldo Perdomo has been a standout player, while veterans like Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Eugenio Suarez have been inconsistent. The team's offense ranks fifth in the league, but their pitching has been a weak spot, with a 4.50 ERA placing them 25th. The Diamondbacks are currently ranked 19th in overall power rankings, with a 18-17 record. In their last three matchups, the New York Mets came out on top, winning two out of three games.

New York Mets Unable to Overcome Arizona Diamondbacks' Dominance as Inconsistencies Continue on the Road

The New York Mets have shown inconsistency on the road this season, with a 10-10 record away from home. The Arizona Diamondbacks have proven to be a formidable opponent for the Mets, winning two of the last three meetings leading up to Tuesday night's game. Mets pitcher Kodai Senga has demonstrated dominance on the mound, but the Diamondbacks were able to collect five hits off him in just four innings in their previous matchup, resulting in a 4-2 victory for Arizona. This outing marked Senga's shortest of the season, contributing to the Mets' recent struggles in his last two starts. On the other hand, Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly has been a tough challenge for opposing batters, allowing two or fewer runs in his last five outings, including a strong performance against the Cubs and the Phillies.
