They enter this game with a 41-25 record overall and have a home record of 21-14.

The current betting odds have the Diamondbacks listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Diamondbacks have been really hot to start the season with one of the best offenses in the MLB right now and they are also leading the NL West with the best record. They have been really good at home this season and are rolling into this series on a big win streak too. The Phillies have also been really hot lately as they were on a win streak before losing to the D-Backs on Monday night but the Phillies haven't really had a good season with their losing record and they have been terrible in their road games as a lot of their recent wins came at home. The Phillies also have Suarez on the mound here and he hasn't made many starts this year due to injury and even though he is coming off a good start in his last, he has been really up and down this season. The D-Backs have Kelly starting here and he has been great this season as he leads the starting rotation in wins and the team has had a ton of success with him on the mound too. He will continue to get plenty of run support as he has all year with that hot offense backing him up and they can take advantage of the Phillies here with their recent road troubles this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Diamondbacks to win this game.
