Brewers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 7, Brewers 5
Moneyline
Pfaadt has not been as affective, but the Diamondbacks’ offense has been great. Before being held to 1 run on Friday, they scored 6 or more in 3 straight and in 9 of 12.
The Brewers have only averaged 2.7 runs per game over their last 9.
I like Arizona to win but they typically win by more than 1 run, so the plus-odds on the RL are a better bet.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Twelve of the Diamondbacks’ last 13 wins have been by multiple runs.
However, 4 of the Brewers’ last 7 losses have been by 1 run.
That said, the plus odds are too good to pass on.
BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+140).
Over/Under
Only 1 of the Brewers’ last 8 games has reached 9 total runs.
Nine of the last 13 for Arizona have had more than 8 total runs but, more importantly, 9 of their last 11 wins had totals of 9 or more.
BET OVER 8.5 (-110).
