It’s our first chance to look at Davies, and with convenient timing, Makakilo wrote about our new pitcher just this morning. Seems likely he’ll be part of the Opening Day roster, especially with Zac Gallen being behind the curve, so keen to see what he brings. Last year was definitely an “off” one, with an ERA+ of 74, compared to 114 across the previous six seasons, so it seems the D-backs are betting on that being an aberration, rather than the new normal for Davies. Getting the walks down and the strikeouts up are probably key, so that’s something to look for this afternoon.
