The Diamondbacks are a team that enters 2026 with a bit more than $133M of player contracts on the books. That said, the Diamondbacks led each game, and in the latter two we carried that lead into the late innings. Facing a less stupidly funded team, we would likely have won at least two of these games, even with the flaws the Diamondbacks have. ), and also because, well, it’s really not a lot of fun to watch the Billionaire Boys Club play baseball on television if you’re not particularly a fan of billionaires. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10pm AZ time, with Justin Verlander going for the striped cats and Michael Soroka going for us.
