This is an 8* play on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The D'Backs have split the first two games of this home series versus Cincinatti, and I like them in the rubber match with ace Patrick Corbin on the mound.

Corbin (2-3, 3.99 ERA) did not have his best stuff, allowing three runs on six hits before being pulled in the second inning in a loss at Washington his last time out. He's 1-2 with a 2.65 ERA in three starts at home since coming off the DL. Corbin was undefeated in his first 13 starts of 2013, and he was 8-4 with 2.97 ERA in 17 home starts before having Tommy John surgery in late 2013.

The Reds hand the ball to Anthony DeScalafini, who is coming off back to back wins over St. Louis. DeScalafini (7-7, 3.71 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on seven hits over six innings in a 3-2 win in his last start. He's 0-2 with a 4.29 ERA in four starts in the afternoon this season.

Paul Goldschmidt is second in the National League batting .332 for the season, and he's been particularly hot at home, hitting .341 in Arizona.

Take ARI.
