The Arizona Diamondbacks are playing great baseball at the moment and an 11-2 rout of the Pirates on Wednesday marked their eighth win in 10 games. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, is trending in the opposite direction with four straight defeats, and here it'll face D'Backs righty Zack Greinke (3-1, 4.60 ERA) who owns a 1.03 ERA in 13 career appearances against the Pirates. We can also note that Greinke has posted a 2.81 ERA through four quality starts in a row.

Jameson Taillon (1-2, 3.12 ERA) will toe the slab for the Pirates. He's coming off a solid outing, but I don't see him being able to shut down an Arizona team which has scored 25 runs through the first three games of this series.

Pirates are 1-7 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Diamondbacks are 8-0 in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning record.

Diamondbacks are 11-1 in the last 12 meetings and a perfect 9-0 in the last 9 meetings in Pittsburgh.

8* play on Arizona Diamondbacks.
