Trevor Cahill RHP, 2-4, 3.65

Juan Nicasio RHP, 2-1, 4.65

Well, at least the Diamondbacks won't get to spoil your evening today, simply because they are playing in the afternoon. I guess that's an improvement, though we at the SnakePit accept no responsibility for the performances at Coors Field putting you off your dinner tonight. We'll see how Cahill's sinker sinks a mile up, but even in a two-game series, being swept by the Rockies would indeed taste like a mouthful of rocks.

Some surprises on that list, I think - who'd have guessed Willie Bloomquist would the clutchiest clutch hitter on the Diamondbacks right now? But there are too many there which are below .250 - significantly so, in quite a few cases - and that certainly goes some way to explaining the team's struggles. Overall, Arizona are hitting .229 with runners in scoring position, certainly a factor in their offensive struggles.
