When the Diamondbacks kicked off their ten-game road trip last week, they swept the Phillies in four games at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Today, they’ll start another series against the Fightin’ Phils, this time at Chase Field.

The Diamondbacks come into this game having won seven of ten, but they haven’t had much success at home all season. They’ve gone 13-25 at Chase all season, despite playing to a 23-17 clip at home. This is going to have to change soon if the D-Backs want to keep inching towards .500– especially against a Phillies team that is 8-28 in its last 36 games.
