Both the D-Backs and Brewers are coming into this matchup with a 7-6 record, but with how strong the NL West is, the Snakes sit in fourth in their division, while Milwaukee is in second.
Arizona will be hoping Corbin Carroll continues his hot streak, as his five home runs are fourth in that category in the entire league. He has hit in four consecutive games, and in his past five games, he boasts a .421 batting average, two home runs, a triple, two doubles, and two RBIs.

The D-Backs have Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound tonight, as he will look to hopefully pick up his first win of the 2025 season. So far, Rodriguez has a 0-1 record, along with a 6.10 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He has had some unfortunate luck this season, whether it be defensive mistakes behind him or other circumstances, he has shown promise at times this season. In his last outing, a 4-3 loss to the Washington Nationals, Rodriguez gave up four earned runs in five innings but also struck out twelve hitters. If the Snakes can eliminate errors, they can give Eduardo Rodriguez a chance to get a win on his record.
The Brewers are projected to roll out Elvin Rodriguez, who has an 0-2 record with a 10.61 ERA. The Brew Crew’s starting pitching is shaky at times, but their bullpen has the talent if needed.

Trying to slow down Milwaukee is going to be no easy task. After their breakdown at the beginning of the season against the Yankees, they have turned it around going 7-2 in their last nine games. Their offense is led by Jackson Chourio as he currently has a 12-game hitting streak. In his last 10 games, he has a .349 batting average with five doubles and four home runs.
First pitch at Chase Field tonight will be at 6:40 p.m. MST.
