Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Houston Astros: Both Well-Matched Teams Looking to Start on a High Against Each Other

Following a 1-3 start to the season, the Diamondbacks are hoping to turn things around after a recent matchup with the San Diego Padres. The Houston Astros, on the other hand, are coming off a three-game series victory against the Los Angeles Angels, where they went 3-1. Madison Bumgarner, a four-time All-Star left-hander, will start for the Diamondbacks, while Luis Garcia, a rookie pitcher, will start for the Astros.

Arizona Diamondbacks- Least Likely of Making it Through to the Next Stage (WWLLL)

The Diamondbacks' forecast for the 2022 season is one of the bleakest. They're in the same division as the San Francisco Giants, who won the National League West in 2021, and the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won the World Series in 2020. The San Diego Padres, who have been steadily improving, are also present. The Diamondbacks were already expected to finish toward the bottom of the NL West standings. The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, are headed for last place after the Rockies acquired batters like Randal Grichuk and 2016 National League Most Valuable Player Kris Bryant.

Expected Opening Lineup for Arizona Diamondbacks:

• Josh Rojas, 3B;
• Ketel Marte, 2B;
• Daulton Varsho, RF;
