The Arizona Diamondbacks (4-3) and Atlanta Braves (3-2) will test their robust offensive abilities in a three-game series beginning on Friday, April 5, at 7:20 PM ET at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The Braves are favored with a run line at -1.5 (-135).

The Diamondbacks went 1-2 in their last series against the New York Yankees. They capped off their final game with a 6-5 outing that went to extra innings (11) to decide the winner, as Aaron Judge landed a two-run home run for the Yankees.

Ketel Marte leads the D-Backs with a batting average of .379, and it is appealing to see if there are runners in scoring position at the plate. He also has an on-base percentage of .412 and a slugging percentage of .552.

The biggest red flag for this matchup will be pitching, as Tommy Henry will get another shot to make a better impression after having an ERA of 11.25 and a WHIP of 2.00 in four innings.

The Diamondbacks' batting average is .290, and they allow their opponents to average .210 at the plate. They also feature an on-base percentage of .370 and a respectable slugging percentage of .473. While this is a good separation at the plate, they will need to find consistency in their current starting rotation.

The Braves went 1-1 in a two-game series against the Chicago White Sox and did not play the third game because it was postponed, so they have had some time to rest between the series. In the final matchup of that series before starting this one, they fell short 3-2 

Orlando Arcia currently ranks fourth in the league for his batting average, which is .450. So far, he has also posted an on-base percentage of .476 and a slugging percentage of .650, which shows that he is a dangerous offensive player in their other team's eyes.

They should have a solid opportunity to win with Spencer Strider on the mound. In just five innings pitched, he has an ERA of 3.60 and a WHIP of 1.00.

The Braves are batting .298 and are holding their opponents to .212 at the plate. Their on-base percentage rivals the Diamondbacks at .365, but they are ahead when looking at slugging percentage at .525.
