7* Arizona (10:10 ET): I’m quite willing to fade Detroit, a terrible team, off a win. The Tigers came here to Arizona and won Friday, by a score of 5-1, Only two teams have worse YTD run differentials (Oakland and Washington) and the Tigers are dead last offensively (2.9 runs per game). While they have been able to string together B2B wins three times in June, can’t see that happening here as they average only 2.5 runs per game on the road. Look for the host D’backs to bounce back on Saturday.

Now Arizona has lost four straight as they were swept in their last series, by San Diego. Managing only three hits last night was also not encouraging, but keep in mind it was an even game, save for Javy Baez’ grand slam in the third inning, which proved to be the difference. Detroit is unlikely to have one swing of the bat be that crucial tonight and the last home start from Zach Davies saw him give the D’backs seven shutout innings. Davies has gone at least six innings in each of his last four starts.

Arizona has been in a bit of a slump offensively, but I think they’ll break out here against Alex Faedo, who has an 8.76 ERA and 1.946 WHIP his L3 starts. Faedo was seemingly off to a decent start to his rookie campaign, but has only gone a full six innings once and has just one win in nine starts. 7* Arizona
