I’m not sure there is any way to describe the start of this Diamondbacks season as anything less than a pleasant surprise. For the first time in approximately a billion years, they currently lead the season series against the Dodgers, they are in first place the latest into the season since September of 2018, and depending on who you ask, are up to a 20.6% chance of making the playoffs. Given the strength of their schedule so far, most would have been satisfied with a mere .500, much less leading the division.
They head to Florida to take on the Miami Marlins.
