The Astros, having avoided a sweep in Seattle, continue their western US swing by visiting the Diamondbacks. If nothing else, Houston is assured of leaving Arizona still leading the AL West.
Diamondbacks’ Season to Date: Coming into 2025, the Diamondbacks held strong playoff aspirations. Having won the NL pennant in 2023 and being the loser in the triple-threat tiebreaker to end the 2024 season despite winning more games than 2023, the Diamondbacks used the 2024-25 offseason to load up in what figured to be a competitive NL West. The biggest moves: Signing former Brewers and O’s ace Corbin Burnes to a massive 6 year/$210M deal and trading for Cleveland 1B Josh Naylor.
