The Arizona Diamondbacks (41-39) head to Tampa Bay to face the Rays (45-33) tonight to begin their weekend series. This comes after the Diamondbacks won 2 of their 3 games against the Cardinals on a road series during the week.
In their series with St. Louis, Arizona was able to pick up a convincing win to close out the series on Wednesday. This came after they lost a close one, 3-2 in game one, and won a close one, 4-3 in game two. Tommy Troy, Ildemaro Vargas, and Lujames Groover each posted 2 RBIs in the 9-4 win in the series finale.
Tampa Bay did not win its most recent series, but did show resilience in its 4-game set with the Kansas City Royals. After losing the 1st two games by a combined 14-6, they bounced back and won the last two impressively. They flipped the run differential and won by a combined score of 18-5.
The Rays should have a strong advantage when it comes to starting pitching in this opening game of the series. Nick Martinez will start for the Rays and is 6-2 on the season. The Diamondbacks are using Zac Gallen, who is just 3-6 to this point in the year.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
Zac Gallen has allowed 4 or more runs in 4 of his last 5 starts. This includes his last outing where he allowed 9 runs on 12 hits in 4 innings against the Minnesota Twins. Now he is facing a Rays team that is 2nd in the league in combined batting average and 4th in the league in on-base percentage. That, combined with Nick Martinez starting, should be enough to get this Rays team a win.
