Analysis
Zack Godley is an under-the-radar starter with a 2.58 ERA in 11 starts. That's the lowest ERA among Arizona's starters, which include strikeout studs Zach Greinke and Robbie Ray. 

Godley hasn't allowed more than three runs during any of his starts this season. Arizona is 4-1 in Godley's past five road starts. Godley is in much better current form than Atlanta starter Jaime Garcia.

Godley has yielded four runs in his last two starts spanning 12 2/3 innings. He's given up five hits with 13 strikeouts during this time frame. Godley, a native of South Carolina, will have extra motivation with many of his family and friends making the trip to Atlanta to watch him today. 

The much injury-prone Garcia could be nearing the end at 31. He has a 9.41 ERA in his last four starts with opponents batting .333 against him during this span. Garcia hasn't won during his past seven starts. 

The Diamondbacks rank seventh in runs scored. They should be even better offensively now that star outfielder A.J. Pollock is back in the lineup. The Braves have surprised with their offense because they have been merely average - ranking 16th in runs scored - instead of near the bottom. They are not a top-seven offense, though, like Arizona and rank 27th in homers. 

Arizona has more depth than Atlanta, which is especially important on Sunday when teams normally rest some starters. The Braves are missing injured setup man Arodys Vizcaino and closer Jim Johnson carries a fatigue rating having worked an inning each of the past two days.
