Diamondbacks Series Preview # 40 : Diamondbacks @ White Sox

The picture shows AJ Pollock stretch to rob a homer from Jose Altuve. Similarly, as a team the Diamondbacks are stretching to reach 72 wins this season.

There is a road to 72 wins.

The team is capable of reaching 72 wins for several reasons. The team has talented players who are getting better with experience. One example is that the team defense (as measured by DRS in The Fielding Bible) has steadily increased; for the season the team’s defense (26 DRS) currently ranks a tie for 10th/11th best in the Majors.

Prior to the series with the White Sox, the Diamondbacks have 56 wins.
