Brewers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 5, Brewers 2
Money line
Gallen has been dominant over the last month. He has not allowed a run in his last 5 starts and has allowed 2 or fewer runs in 19 of his 25 outings all season.
The Diamondbacks are rolling as well, having won 7 of their last 9 games.
The Brewers have lost 4 of their last 5 games on the road.
Take the DIAMONDBACKS (-175).
Run line/Against the spread
The Diamondbacks have not been favored many times this year. They are 18-17 ATS as the favorite. Their 77-55 ATS record overall this season is the 3rd-best in all of baseball.
The Brewers have the worst ATS record in baseball this season at 55-77 ATS.
Arizona’s last 6 wins when Gallen starts have all been by at least 2 runs.
Take the DIAMONDBACK -1.5 (+122).
Over/Under
With Gallen on the mound, you can’t expect Milwaukee to score much, so it comes down to Arizona’s offense. They have scored 5 or more runs in 6 of their last 9 games.
Three of Gallen’s last 5 starts have had totals under 8 runs.
Four of the Brewers’ last 5 games have had 7 or fewer total runs.
I LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-107).
