Pirates vs Diamondbacks prediction, odds, pick - 7/26/2024
It's time to continue our MLB odds series with a Pirates-Diamondbacks prediction and pick. Find out how to watch Pirates Diamondbacks. The Arizona Diamondbacks are beginning to look like the team we saw in October last season. The defending National League champions have been ravaged by injuries to their starting rotation, and they struggled at the plate throughout the first two and a half months of the season, but in the past month, their offense has become noticeably more explosive. Corbin Carroll has broken out of a slump. Ketel Marte is crushing the baseball. Christian Walker terrorized the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Arizona is above .500 and in the middle of the National League wild card race. The D-Backs just won two consecutive series coming out of the All-Star break, one in Chicago against the Cubs and another in Kansas City versus the Royals. If they keep playing like this, the Diamondbacks will have a shot at defending their National League championship from 2023.
