The best bet in this one is to take the Diamondbacks on the money line, with the payout sitting at -142. We have the Diamondbacks taking this one by a score of 6-5. So, if you’re looking for an over/under pick, we would actually take the over, as there is a little bit of wiggle room with the line sitting at 8 runs.

Looking at the starting pitchers, we have Zac Gallen finishing with seven strikeouts compared to Nathan Eovaldi with six. However, Gallen is projected to finish with a better line than Eovaldi, and we have him finishing with the win.
