After this afternoon’s solid 5-2 win over the Nationals, the Diamondbacks have gone through most of the softest part of their schedule in June when they squared off almost exclusively against sub .500 teams. In fact, the only teams they will face this month that are above .500 are the Phillies and the Twins. If you want to extend the window, you could also include the two and a half series that ended the month of May when they faced off against the Marlins, Rangers, and the first half of the four-game set against the Mets. In June, they’ve undoubtedly been playing better as they are now 12-6 on the month and put themselves in a strong position to have their first winning month of the season.
