Unexpected Underdogs: How Fish Are Poised to Upend the Diamondbacks in the Desert Showdown
The expectations of Arizona this season were that they would compete for a playoff spot. I wasn’t one to put them with potential to win the division, but something encouraging like a Wild Card spot felt right for them. They play in an incredibly difficult division and there are four teams that could potentially win a playoff spot this year. As of right now, they look like the least likely as they have been above and below .500 for much of the season, never really falling too far or getting too much over. Today they send out youngster, Brandon Pfaadt to the hill. Pfaadt is 8-5 for the season with a 5.49 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. He has performed better at home, but still has a 4.08 ERA there. This month has been a mixed bag for Pfaadt with two outings of four or more earned runs, and two with two earned runs. Marlins hitters are batting surprisingly well against him with 11 hits in 31 at-bats.Â
