<h2>
Diamondbacks vs. Phillies Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Arizona took the opener of this series Monday night 13-8, but Philly grabbed Tuesday night's contest 7-4. The Diamondbacks cashed in as +120 underdogs on the MLB betting line Monday, while the Phillies won as -140 favorites Tuesday.
</p>
<p>
Also, Monday's game flew over a total of 10 and Tuesday's game played over a total of nine.
</p>
<p>
Tuesday's loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the D'Backs. At 35-33 overall Arizona trails the division-leading Dodgers by 10 games in the NL West, but it's also just three games back of the Cubs in the battle for the second National League wild-card spot.
</p>
<p>
With Tuesday's victory, Philly is 5-2 over its last seven games. At 38-29 overall Philadelphia is tied with Atlanta for the lead in the NL East.
</p>
<p>
This series is the first meeting between these teams this season. Last year the D'Backs took the season series from the Phillies four games to two.
</p>
<h2>
Wednesday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Eflin is 7/12 on quality starts this season and two for his last three. Last Friday he held Cincinnati to two runs – one earned – and four hits through 6 1/3 innings of a 4-2 Philly victory. And over his last three starts, he's allowed five ER and 16 hits through 16 innings.
</p>
<p>
The Phillies are 6-6 with Eflin this season, but only 1-3 over his last three starts, although that's not all his fault.
</p>
<p>
This will be Eflin's first start against Arizona since 2016, and that's already a long time ago.
</p>
<p>
Kelly, by our stringent standards, is only 5/13 on quality starts this season but two for his last two. Last Friday he held Toronto to one run and three hits through seven innings of an 8-2 Diamondbacks win. And 10 days ago he held the Mets to one run and six hits, with 10 strikeouts, through 7 2/3 innings of a 7-1 Arizona victory.
</p>
<p>
The D'Backs are 6-7 with Kelly this season, 2-0 over his last two starts.
</p>
<p>
This will be Kelly's first-ever start against Philadelphia.
