Arizona has won just 1 of its last 7 games at home

The UNDER has cashed in 18 of the last 27 Diamondbacks home games

Arizona is 2-14 in its last 16 games played, has lost 6 of its last 7 home games and 6 of its last 7 against a right-handed (Bailey) starter. This D-Backs offense has really struggled as of late and think have to fade Arizona as big favorite today. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Reds win 5-3.
