Brewers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 7, Brewers 4
Moneyline
The Diamondbacks have won 3 games in a row, scoring at least 6 runs in each game. The Brewers have started the season winning 7 of 9 games and have allowed 1 run or fewer in 5 of those games.
I like the home team to win outright and betting the Diamondbacks on the moneyline isn’t a bad bet but positive odds for the Diamondbacks to cover the spread are too much to pass up.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Arizona’s last 4 wins have been by 2 or more runs. Even with Gallen struggling in his last outing, the Diamondbacks won that game 8-6.
The Brewers’ 2 losses were shutout losses, losing by 4 or more runs.
BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+135).

Over/Under
Seven of the 10 games this season for the Diamondbacks have had 8 or more total runs. The Brewers had 4 straight games with 8-plus runs, but have not reached that total in their last 3 games.
Arizona’s 4 games played at Chase Field this season have had 7 or more runs, with 3 having 9 or more.
BET OVER 7.5 (-115).
