Highly unlikely that he gets a raise. He doesn't have the comps to get more than $5M - he is a setup man this year (no saves), and setup men don't get $5M/year. He had a bad 2011 on top of that so what comps does he have to support $8M/year? it hasnt been a full season, so you cant say yet. if they trade off krod, then theres the chance Axford could close again with Henderson. even as a setup man, if he's able to perform great and not give up runs like he's been doing for the last month, he will absolutely get a raise. arbitration awards for relievers are not based on games saved, they're based on overall performance, and if he has a stellar second half and does not get traded, he'll definitely get a raise.
