Match Details
- Date: 2025-04-27
- Time: 8:10 PM UTC
- Location: Phoenix
Game Overview
The Diamondbacks seek redemption after Eugenio Suárez’s historic 4-HR game in an 8-7 loss to the Braves. Both teams are near .500, with Arizona slightly stronger at home (7-8) and Atlanta struggling on the road (4-11). Pitching matchup features Brandon Pfaadt (4-1, 2.73 ERA) for Arizona and Spencer Schwellenbach (1-1, 2.56 ERA) for Atlanta.
Key Factors to Consider
- Arizona’s lineup has momentum from Suárez’s power surge, while Atlanta’s bullpen (notably closer Iglesias’ 6.30 ERA) remains vulnerable. The Braves excel in late-game comebacks, erasing deficits in 4 of their last 7 wins.
- Recent matchup saw Atlanta overcome Suárez’s historic performance, suggesting psychological edge.
- Braves’ Jarred Kelenic absent (replaced by Eli White, who homered twice in series). No major Arizona injuries reported.
- Home-field advantage for Arizona, though limited (7-8 at home). Over/under leans toward pitching duel (8.5 runs), but both teams have power potential.
- Arizona aims to avenge Saturday’s collapse; Atlanta seeks to capitalize on bullpen vulnerabilities.
