Analyzing Past Performances


A look back at recent games reveals a promising trend for the Diamondbacks. In their last outing on March 28, 2025, against the Chicago Cubs, they showcased a formidable offense and defense, securing an 8-1 victory. The team's hitters were on fire, amassing 14 hits and converting these opportunities into eight runs. This offensive prowess was complemented by a stellar pitching performance that limited the Cubs to just one run.


This victory was not an isolated incident but part of a pattern of strong performances by Arizona. Even in their loss against the Cubs on March 27, where they were outscored 6-10, there were glimpses of brilliance with six runs scored off nine hits. Despite falling short in that game due to pitching struggles, it's clear that when it comes to hitting and scoring runs, AZ has what it takes.
