"Last time out, Tolle had the pleasure of facing the hapless Pirates, who are notoriously bad against left-handed pitching. Tonight, he gets an opponent on the other end of the spectrum in the Arizona Diamondbacks, who excel against southpaws. Fortunately, it isn't Paul Skenes on the mound opposite him; it's old friend Eduardo Rodriguez. Eddy is in the middle of a difficult season with a 5.40 ERA in 24 starts. He'll give the Dbacks five innings and hand it off to the bullpen, most likely."

Payton Tolle last faced the Pirates, a team that struggles against left-handed pitching. The upcoming opponent, the Arizona Diamondbacks, performs well against southpaws, creating a tougher matchup. Eduardo Rodriguez will start for Arizona instead of Paul Skenes and carries a 5.40 ERA across 24 starts this season. Rodriguez is expected to work around five innings before the bullpen takes over. The Arizona bullpen has been below average, ranking 26th in bullpen ERA on the season. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 PM EST on NESN, making early innings and bullpen usage important.
