Prediction published on 7/31/24, 11:59 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/31/24 at 12:19 PM in MLB Picks

The Diamondbacks and Nationals face off in the afternoon in Arizona after the D-backs routed the Nationals in an unusual 17-0 victory on Tuesday. Venezuelan Suarez was the star of the night hitting 3 HRs reaching 16 in 2024, it is the second time in his career that he has a 3-HR game. They tied the team record for hits in a game with 22. In the second inning, 11 D-backs batters paraded across the plate. The only negative thing was that catcher Moreno left due to injury when he received a foul on his wrist.

The current NL champion is now 6 games above .500 and half a game behind the Padres and Mets who hold the last Wild Card in their league. Lovullo's team has had a very similar season to that of 2023, where they stayed close to 500 and in the second half they snuck into the Playoffs at the last moment.

Carroll has improved his performance, he already has 16 doubles, 8 triples, 8 HRs and 38 RBIs. While for Suarez, with yesterday's 3 HRs, he already has 6 in the last 10 games.

The D-backs have also extended their dominance at Chase Field, where they now have a 25-17 record as favorites.
