Rogers' 10* NL Game of the Day - 131-98-2 Overall Run!
(MLB) Cincinnati vs. Arizona, 08/27/2016 4:10 PM, Score: 13 - 0
Money Line: -110.00 Cincinnati (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: Arizona fell 22 games below .500 on August but have been a .500 team since, going 10-9. The D'backs are 3-2 on their current seven-game homestand with each of the team's wins coming in walk-off fashion. The most recent came Friday, when Arizona won on a two-out wild pitch in the 11th inning. The Reds have lost four of five entering tonight's game and like the 54-75 D'backs are just playing out the string at 54-73.

The pitching matchup: Cincinnati will send Anthony DeSclafani (7-2, 3.27 ERA) to the mound, opposed by Arizona's Zack Godley (4-2, 5.53). DeSclafani was picked to start the 2016 season opener for the Reds but a strained oblique sidelined him for more than two months. He didn't make his first start this season until June 10 and quite surprisingly, didn't suffer his first loss until his 12th start. DeSclafani was 6-0 in his opening 11-start stretch and while the Reds were 7-4 (.636) in those games, that's quite an impressive mark for a team currently playing .425 baseball on the season. Godley made nine appearances (six starts) in 2015 and has made 15 appearances (eight starts) here in 2016. He's coming off an effort in which he was pummeled for seven ERs on nine hits in just five innings against Atlanta this past Monday (he escaped with a no-decision).

The pick: Godley has pitched poorly at home in 2016, with a 5.86 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in eight appearances, which includes six starts. In contrast, while DeSclafani gave up four runs on eight hits in seven innings this past Sunday in a 4-0 loss to the LA Dodgers, he had allowed three runs or less in 12 of his first 13 starts in 2016. The Reds are a 10* play.
