Phillies at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Phillies 6, Diamondbacks 3
Money line
PASS on the money line in this game. Suarez has been fantastic for the last 2 months and Bumgarner has struggled.
Both teams are playing well as of late but Arizona has lost Bumgarner’s last 3 starts.
The Phillies should win this game, but there is a little too much juice to bet the money line.
