Thursday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Serrano has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .506. However, it's not like Burroughs struggles in that department as they've averaged .463. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Serrano beat Burroughs 7-4 in their previous matchup two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Diamondbacks since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
