Arizona Diamondbacks Betting Odds
Since their inaugural season of 1998 the Arizona Diamondbacks have been an up and down franchise. Lately its been more down than up with consistent money losses on the board for the past several years. Arizona has made the playoffs just once since 2012. However, the Diamondbacks have posted winning records on the field for three consecutive seasons.
Manager Torey Lovullo has been a major factor in the success of Arizona. Lovullo has been in professional baseball as a player or coach since 1988. He played in the Major Leagues from 1988 through 1999 as an infielder and then went on to manage and coach in the minors after his playing career ended. In his first season as D-Backs manager in 2017 Lovullo engineered a 24-game win-increase over the previous season which ended with a berth in the National League Divisional Playoffs. As a result, he was named NL Manager of the Year.
For the 2019 season the D-Backs had Major League metrics of 11th for run scoring, 14th for batting average, 13th for OPS, 18th for home runs, 10th for stolen bases, 12th for earned run average, 14th for WHIP, 15th for strikeouts, 10th for quality starts, ninth for earned run average, and 12th for bullpen.
General manager Mike Hazen has been in his current role since 2017. He knew and worked with Lovullo from his days with the Boston Red Sox. Hazen began his Boston career as director of player development and rose to general manager. His familiarity with Lovullo was a major factor in the decision to name him as manager.
