Fresh off a sweep in San Francisco, the Marlins head to the desert looking to extend their longest win streak of the season. They'll open a three-game set against the Diamondbacks tonight at Chase Field, with first pitch scheduled for 8:40 p.m. EST.
Miami (34–45) has won four straight, including a 12–5 rout of the Giants yesterday. Kyle Stowers and Agustin Ramirez each homered and drove in three runs to overcome a rough start from Jansen Junk, who gave up five runs in 3.2 innings.
Rookie right-hander Eury Perez (0–2, 6.17 ERA) takes the mound for Miami after three shaky starts earlier this season. Perez has not given up a home run but will face an offense in the top five in the majors at launching balls over the fence.
The Diamondbacks (41–39) dropped their series finale against the White Sox but have won three of their last five. Merrill Kelly (7–3, 3.39 ERA) gets the start for Arizona, looking to continue a strong season that includes a 1.05 WHIP and 93 strikeouts over 93 innings.

Marlins vs Diamondbacks Predictions and Picks
"The Dbacks have won their last six meetings against the Marlins, including a 3-0 series sweep this season in Miami, with a combined 22-10 score .... The Diamondbacks have a better overall record and have been slightly above average at home, while the Marlins have been weak on the road .... The Dbacks have the pitching advantage and a superior offense, being even better against righties, so I expect them to be winning this game at the end of the first 5 innings." — Nikos Lagouretos, PickDawgz
"Merrill Kelly is simply in a better rhythm than Eury Perez right now, and Arizona's offense offers way more pop. The D-backs have outscored Miami by nearly 100 runs this season (413 to 318) and have a clear power advantage with 115 home runs compared to Miami's 66. Arizona also holds the edge in team ERA and WHIP, which should help them hold down a Marlins lineup that ranks near the bottom in slugging. Final Score Prediction: Arizona Diamondbacks win 6-3." — Jake Allmann, Picks and Parlays
"Miami has played good ball over the last week or so, but they have a couple of disadvantages working against them in this one. The Marlins have Perez on the mound as he makes his fourth start of the year, but he hasn't gone even five innings in his first three starts. Miami also had to play Thursday, which could take a toll on their bullpen, and then fly in for this series, while Arizona had the day off. The Diamondbacks are a maddeningly inconsistent team, but Kelly has been solid while turning in the best season of the starting staff. Look for Arizona's bats to do the job offensively and deliver a victory for the hosts." — Chris King, Winners and Whiners
