The Arizona Diamondbacks have gone 36-18 at Chase Field this season, the second-best home record in MLB.
That mark is about to really be tested.
Starting Tuesday, the Diamondbacks host the Dodgers, Cubs and Astros, three of the hottest teams in baseball.
MLB PLAYOFF PICTURE: Where Diamondbacks, others stand
Arizona will need to take care of business at home to stay in the race for the No. 1 NL Wild Card spot (the D-Backs trail the Rockies by a half-game in that race entering Monday’s games).
Is there cause for concern in Arizona?

HOW DID THERY CHANGE?: Previous MLB power rankings
Check out what the latest MLB power rankings say about the Diamondbacks:
ESPN.com: Diamondbacks down one to No. 6
Christina Kahrl writes: “Robbie Ray’s return from his post-concussion symptoms can’t come soon enough. The injury-wracked Snakes are 13-20 since their high-water mark 22 games above .500 on June 27. At least Ketel Marte has been earning his keep as an injury replacement, bashing four homers while providing value on defense at shortstop. If he keeps that up, the D-backs can worry slightly less about Chris Owings and Nick Ahmed both recovering in time to contribute down the season’s last leg.”
cbssports.com: D-Backs down three to No. 9
Matt Snyder writes: “They need a full-strength Robbie Ray back for the stretch run, but Ray’s head injury goes beyond the baseball impact. Tough spot for Ray, as he surely wants to help his team but needs to be careful.”
rotoworld.com: Diamondbacks up two to No. 4
Jesse Pantuosco writes: “The Sonny Gray and Yu Darvish deals are obviously huge but if I had to pick one team, I’d say the Diamondbacks improved the most at the trade deadline by landing J.D. Martinez.”
Matt Veasey writes: “Barring a collapse by one or the other, the Rockies and D-Backs appear headed toward a showdown in the NL Wild Card Game. They have evenly split their dozen meetings thus far, and face one another seven times in September.”
Randy Chambers writes: “The Arizona Diamondbacks are still in good position for the playoffs, but they’re losing some of that edge they had in the first half. The Diamondbacks are striking out an average of 10 times per game since the break.”
thescore.com: Diamondbacks up one to No. 5
It writes: “Arizona owns a plus-117 run differential that’s second in the NL – and yet is battling just to hold onto home field in the wild-card game. Such is life in the NL West.”
Yahoo Sports: Diamondbacks up one to No. 4
