From the department of "Go Figure", They came into Major League Baseball together, but the D-backs and Devil Rays have taken different paths since. Arizona won the World Series in 2001 and Tampa Bay has yet to finish as season above the .500 mark. But when it comes to head-to-head matchups on the field, it's not even close. The Devil Rays are 6-0 against Arizona, sweeping three-game series at Chase Field in 2004 and at Tropicana Field in 2006. The Diamondbacks will be out to end their drought against the Devil Rays tonight in the opener of a three game series in Phoenix. Arizona's entire offense came alive in a weekend sweep of Baltimore and should continue to roll against a Tampa pitching staff that is ranked last in the American League in ERA. The "Snakes" have a definite pitching advantage tonight as veteran Livan Hernandez (5-4, 4.20) goes up against Edwin Jackson (0-8, 8.20). Jackson is coming off a rough start against the Padres in which he allowed five runs and retired just one batter. He's been a bust with a capital B since joining Tampa Bay. Arizona is 26-8 in their last 34 games as a favorite, while TB is just 13-18 on the road. We're just looking for a two run victory tonight, something easily within reach for the D-Backs ESPECIALLY against Edwin Jackson.
