The Diamondbacks have a better overall record, and have been slightly above average at home, while the Marlins have been weak on the road. The Dbacks also had the day-off yesterday, while the Marlins had to travel in Arizona. The Dbacks have the pitching advantage and a superior offense, being even better against righties, so I expect them to be winning this game at the end of the first 5 innings.
