This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Both of these starting pitchers has been hot of late. We'll call them a "wash" in this one, but give the slight nod to Arizona because of the home field advantage.

Kenta Maeda: He's 10-4 with a 3.79 ERA. Maeda comes in off a gem against the Braves on Tuesday, going seven scoreless with six K's. Over his last six outings he's gone 5-1 with a tiny 2.20 ERA. With Clayton Kershaw and Brandon McCarthy both on the DL, Maeda's recent form will keep him in the starting rotation for now.

Zack Godley: He's 5-4 with a 2.86 ERA. Godley most recently gave up three hits and two walks over six scoreless frames while striking out five in a victory over the Cubs on Wednesday. Godley has now posted 13 scoreless innings over his last two starts and note that he's been particularly effective at home this season by going 2-1 with a 3.08 ERA.

The bottom line: As we mentioned off the top, we think that home field advantage will prove to be the difference tonight. Play on the DIAMONDBACKS.
