Rubby De La Rosa has been able to miss a lot of bats in 2015, striking out 55 in 59.0 innings. He has been prone to allow runners to score once they are on but gets to face a team that has a hard time getting on base this week. The Milwaukee Brewers have averaged four runs at home in 23 games, good for 16th overall, but are hitting an abysmal .229 and tied for last with a .290 on-base percentage (OBP). De La Rosa can also feast on a lineup that averages 8.5 strikeouts and 2.8 walks per home game. De La Rosa has allowed three walks once in nine starts and has issues zero free passes twice.
The Brewers are 2-5 in the first game of series openers at home, great news for D'Backs fans and De La Rosa.
