Atlanta Braves at Arizona Diamondbacks
Saturday, 4:10 pm Eastern – Fox

The Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks get the spotlight on Fox television on Saturday afternoon. Javier Vazquez gets the start for the Braves while Doug Davis takes the hill for Arizona. Vazquez is 4-4 on the season with a 3.80 ERA while Davis is 2-6 with a 3.77 ERA.

Check out the current line for this game at SBG Global.

Vazquez has been up and down this season for the Braves, allowing five earned runs or more in three of his past six starts and two earned runs or less in the other three starts. The last time he faced Arizona he went seven innings and allowed just two earned runs in a no-decision.

Davis has pitched well this season but hasn’t been rewarded. He allowed just one run in his last start in seven innings against San Diego but the bullpen collapsed and he was denied a win.

The Diamondbacks have struggled this season in large part due to an anemic offense and the fact that Brandon Webb hasn’t pitched much. Webb is getting closer to returning though and he would be a welcome sight for the Diamondbacks. "He's inching back there, day-by-day," Arizona manager A.J. Hinch said, "Once we get him on the mound, we'll build his pitch count up, pitch him in a few [Minor League] games and hopefully we can activate him." Yusmeiro Petit, Bryan Augenstein and Billy Buckner have started in place of Webb this season. They have made nine starts and have a combined 6.80 ERA. Arizona is 2-7 in those games.
