Arizona Sportsbooks will find value in the Diamondbacks during the second half of the season.
It appears that the Arizona Diamondbacks are on track to experience their fourth straight losing season in 2022, as they progress through the latter portion of the MLB regular season.
The D-backs are currently at the bottom of the NL West standings with a record of 40-52, trailing behind the L.A. Dodgers (60-30), San Diego (52-42), San Francisco (48-43), and Colorado (43-50).
Arizona ranks 23rd in the league for runs scored, with a total of 383. They are also 23rd in on-base percentage at .302 and 28th in team batting average at .223.
The D-backs have five players with a WAR of 1 or higher, led by first baseman Christian Walker with a 3.0 WAR. Additionally, they have a solid rotation with four pitchers maintaining an ERA below 4.
The D-backs’ bullpen is the main issue, as they have the sixth-highest ERA in the league at 4.33, leading to Arizona’s total team ERA of 4.34, ranking them 23rd in the majors.
Torey Lovullo’s team will look to tackle those issues when they take the field for the first time post-All-Star Game against Washington at 6:40 p.m. on Friday.

Diamondbacks are one of the biggest underdogs in MLB.
The D-backs have a very slim chance of reaching the postseason for the first time in five years on Arizona sports betting apps.
According to Caesars Sportsbook, Arizona has +4500 odds to make the postseason and -75000 odds to miss the playoffs.
The Emperor has placed the D-backs at +200000 odds to win the 2022 World Series, tying them for last with Detroit, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Oakland, Colorado, Washington, and Pittsburgh.
Arizona is seen as a major underdog with odds of +100000 to come out on top against the Dodgers, Giants, and Rockies in the NL West futures.
At BetMGM Sportsbook Arizona, the only future bet option for the D-backs is to place a wager at +10000 odds for them to achieve the most wins in the 30-team league. Currently, they are tied for last place with 20 other teams.
Possible areas where the Diamondbacks may offer value
Given their .435 winning percentage, it is likely that the D-backs will be viewed as underdogs in the future.
This suggests that bettors interested in wagering on Arizona MLB games should expect the team’s odds to be between +100 and +250 in the upcoming home games against San Francisco (July 25-27) and St. Louis (Aug. 19-21).
Bettors may benefit from the fact that the D-backs have had a nearly even record of 22-26 at Chase Field this season, which is better than their 18-26 record on the road.
Bettors have the potential to win a significant amount of money if they bet on Arizona at +175 in home games against teams like the Giants and Cardinals.
It remains unclear if Arizona will replicate the same level of success, but it stands out as a positive amid an otherwise dismal season in the Valley.
No matter what, D-backs fans have the opportunity to visit the new Caesars retail sportsbook at Chase Field and, if desired, treat themselves to trash can nachos or other Guy Fieri favorites during the MLB regular season.
