Baseball Betting: Diamondbacks Shine as Arizona’s New Star Team!
Last week, I praised Bobby Cox and his Atlanta Braves for their impressive 6-3 road trip, noting that they seemed to channel the spirit of Cox’s successful NL East teams from the past. However, the tables have turned as the Dodgers and Diamondbacks came to Turner Field, leaving the Braves with a disappointing 1-6 record in their recent homestand.
The Braves were swept by the dynamic Diamondbacks, who are now hitting their stride just after the Phoenix Suns exited the NBA Playoffs.
Before embarking on a challenging 10-game road trip that included stops in Cincinnati, New York, and Atlanta, Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin referred to it as a “measuring stick” for the team. With a triumphant 7-3 finish capped by a four-game sweep of the Braves, it’s clear: Arizona is a formidable team, poised to maintain their position at the top of the National League West.
This four-game sweep was only the third in Diamondbacks history to occur on the road. Their 7-3 record equaled a club best for road trips of at least 10 games.
The pitching staff shone brightly with a 2.35 ERA over the 10 games, allowing just 24 earned runs in 92 innings. The offense also impressed, hitting 10 home runs in the last three games and outscoring opponents 56-24 overall.
The Diamondbacks’ starting pitchers continue to perform admirably. Sunday’s 9-3 victory over the Braves marked the 13th "quality start" in the past 15 games. Right-hander Miguel Batista was the latest to excel, pitching 6 2/3 innings and allowing three runs. Over this stretch, the starters have maintained a stellar 1.94 ERA.
Batista, now with a 6-2 record, benefited from an explosive offense that racked up 14 hits and four home runs for the second consecutive day. This four-game sweep was a first for the Braves at home since 1995.
Looking ahead, RHP Brandon Webb seeks to break a club record for consecutive scoreless innings when he faces the Phillies on Monday. Webb has pitched 25 scoreless innings, with Andy Benes holding the record at 27 1/3 innings since the Diamondbacks’ inaugural season in 1998.
Additionally, there’s a remarkable turnaround for Eric Byrnes, whose batting average jumped from .226 on June 1, 2005, to .325 on the same date in 2006. It’s the largest improvement of any major league player.
