Why the Diamondbacks Are Poised to Shatter Colorado’s Hopes Tonight
The Diamondbacks enter today’s game looking like they will be sellers instead of buyers at the deadline. This is a team that made it to the World Series two years ago and made the playoffs last season. To say they have to blow up the team would be absurd. They tried to invest into the roster this year by adding Corbin Burnes to the rotation. He is injured, but kind of looked like a shell of himself this year anyway. Now the chatter is if they will keep Zac Gallen who was described as having good but not great stuff – when he is on, he is great. Another name floating around is today’s stater Merrill Kelly. Kelly is 6-3 with a 3.41 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. Those are all good numbers and something that would be worthy of a start in the playoffs for most teams. Kelly has struggled on the road this season, and playing at Coors is never fun. However, the Rockies team is hitting just .118 against him.
