The D-Backs will counter with right-handed pitcher Ryne Nelson, who has struggled this season. With an ERA of 6.03, Nelson ranks among the worst pitchers in MLB. However, his 4.15 xFIP indicates that he has been unlucky and may improve in future outings. Nelson is projected to pitch around 5.4 innings, allowing an average of 3.1 earned runs and striking out 3.7 batters.
