[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Brewers 3

Moneyline

The Diamondbacks (-160) have not been swept in a series at home this season.

The Brewers are 44-33 on the road.

But Gallen has been dealing for Arizona. Hall has not allowed a run in his last 3 outings. Gallen has 2 consecutive scoreless starts and has not allowed a run in 3 of his last 4.

Milwaukee’s offensive explosion was out of the blue. They had averaged 2.7 runs in their previous 9 games.

The home team should salvage the finale, but at -160 odds, you get better odds on the run line.

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 (+125).

Over/Under

Only 2 of the Brewers’ last 9 games have reached 9 total runs.

Ten of the last 14 for Arizona have had more than 8 total runs, but more importantly, 9 of its last 11 wins had totals of 9 or more.

Arizona scored 8 runs in the 9th. That should carry over to Sunday.

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).

Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Brewers vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 1-0.

The Brewers took the opening game of the series Friday night with a 2-1 win. They have won 2 games in a row and 3 out of their last 4. They lead the NL Central by 10 games.

The Diamondbacks had their 3-game winning streak snapped with the loss Friday. They hold a Wild Card spot in the National League, trailing the San Diego Padres for the Wild Card lead by half a game.

Brewers at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Tobias Myers vs. RHP Brandon Pfaadt

Myers (7-5, 2.93 ERA) makes his 23rd start and 24th appearance. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 through 120 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 11 K in 5-2 home win over Colorado Rockies last Saturday
  • Brewers lost 3 previous starts
  • Facing Arizona for 1st time

Pfaadt (9-8, 4.42 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 165 innings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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.

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.

Milwaukee Brewers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Milwaukee Brewers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Arizona Diamondbacks (82-64) welcome the Milwaukee Brewers (84-62) to Chase Field Friday to open a 3-game series. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Brewers vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Arizona won 4-2 in last year’s regular-season series

The Diamondbacks beat the Texas Rangers 14-4 Wednesday, completing a 2-game sweep. They closed as -157 favorites yet have been moneyline (ML) underdogs in 4 of their last 6 games. Arizona has won 3 straight games and is 5-3 over its last 8. It is 41-31 at home this season and 77-69 against the spread (ATS).

The Brewers won 3-0 at the San Francisco Giants Thursday, closing as -130 favorites in the series finale. They have traded off winning and losing over their last 6 games and are 3-5 over their last 8. Milwaukee had lost 2 of 3 games to both the St. Louis Cardinals (Sept. 2-4) and Colorado Rockies (Sept. 6-8) before facing the Giants. It is 42-33 on the road and 77-69 ATS on the season.

Brewers at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Freddy Peralta vs. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez

Peralta (10-8, 3.81 ERA) makes his 30th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 through 158 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 4 K in 4-1 home defeat to Rockies Sunday
  • 2024 away stats: 4-3, 3.39 ERA (69 IP, 26 ER), 1.25 WHIP, 10.4 K/9 in 13 starts
  • Career vs. Diamondbacks: 3-0, 0.55 ERA (16 1/3 IP, 1 ER), 0.61 WHIP, 13.2 K/9 in 4 appearances (2 starts)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Brewers 3

Moneyline

BET DIAMONDBACKS (-115).

The Diamondbacks have been red hot offensively, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. They have scored 32 runs in their last 3 games and at least 6 in 9 of their last 12. They are 4-2 in Rodriguez’s last 6 starts.

The Brewers have traded off winning and losing in 6 straight and are coming off a win. If that trend continues, they will lose Friday. Milwaukee lost Peralta’s last start 4-1 to the Rockies. Milwaukee has allowed 15 runs in its last 3 games.

Considering those trends, back DIAMONDBACKS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Brewers are too risky to play as run-line favorites for the reasons listed above, and the Diamondbacks are way too expensive and not worth a play as run-line underdogs.

Avoid this wager.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).

The Diamondbacks have an electric offense and have gone north of the total in 10 of their last 12 games. They have allowed 29 runs in their last 5 games while scoring 37 in that span. Arizona is 84-56-6 O/U and should continue its red-hot batting.

The Brewers are a different story, having gone Under in 6 of their last 7 games; however, they are 77-61-8 O/U on the season. Season-long trends point to them typically surpassing the total. They have scored at least 3 runs in 3 of their last 5 games.

Take OVER 8.5 (-105).

Texas Rangers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Texas Rangers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Texas Rangers (70-74) and Arizona Diamondbacks (80-64) open up a 2-game series Tuesday at Chase Field at 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Rangers vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rangers lead 2-0

The Rangers have won 5 of 6 after their 7-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels Sunday. 2B Marcus Semien hit his 19th homer of the year. The Rangers are 7-2 in their last 9 games but remain 6 games out of a Wild Card spot.

Arizona salvaged a game of the 3-game set against the Houston Astros with a 12-6 victory Sunday. The win snapped a 3-game skid. OF Pavin Smith made the spot start and slugged 3 homers and drove in 8. He also homered in his previous start before that, giving him 4 dingers in his last 2 starts.

Rangers at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Nathan Eovaldi vs. RHP Zac Gallen

Eovaldi (11-7, 3.55 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.06 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 in 147 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 6 K in 10-6 home victory Wednesday against New York Yankees
  • Last 5 regular-season starts vs. D-Backs: 2-0, 2.25 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 15 K in 28 IP

Gallen (11-6, 3.69 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 1.28 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 in 127 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 4 BB, 8 K in 6-4 victory Wednesday at San Francisco Giants
  • 3 regular-season starts vs. Rangers: 1-1, 3.57 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 25 K in 17 2/3 IP

  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Rangers +1.5 (-145) | Diamondbacks -1.5 (+120)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 7.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rangers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 5, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

I’m siding with the Rangers in this one. Gallen was great in his last start, but he has been blowing up for 4+ ER in 3 of his previous 5 GS before that. The Rangers are playing better ball and have beaten the D-Backs 5 straight games, including 3 in Arizona in the World Series.

Take the RANGERS +145.

Run line/Against the spread

Since we’re taking the value on the ML, I’m looking toward NATHAN EOVALDI OVER 17.5 OUTS (-140). He has gone 6+ IP in 4 straight starts, and while the starts were from 2012-16, he did so in 4 straight starts at Chase Field.

Over/Under

It’s slated to be a crisp 105 degrees with minimal wind from left field to right field. The humidity is only about 10%, though, and a high humidity is generally considered over 50%. Arizona is 9-1 O/U in its last 10, and Texas is 7-3. LEAN OVER 7.5 (-120).

Moneyline

Verlander has struggled since his return from the injured list. The Diamondbacks are trying to not collapse at the end of the season.

They are 9-2 in Nelson’s last 11 starts. He has an ERA of 2.48 in last 5 starts.

The Diamondbacks take advantage and salvage one game of the series.

BET DIAMONDBACKS (+125).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks are 33-15 ATS as road underdogs and 10 of their last 12 covers have been outright wins.

The Astros are 29-33 ATS as home favorites.

But the better value is the moneyline so go with that for Arizona.

PASS. 

Over/Under

Both games this series have had at least 8 total runs.

Eight of the Diamondbacks’ last 9 games have had 8 or more total runs.

Five of the last 6 for the Astros have had 8 or more total runs.

Season series: Astros lead 1-0

The Diamondbacks lost 8-0 to the Astros Friday and have now dropped 2 in a row. They did win 2 of 3 games at the San Francisco Giants Tuesday through Thursday, though. Arizona is 3-6 in its last 9 despite a 40-32 road record this season. It is 74-68 against the spread (ATS).

The Astros avoided a 4-game skid with Friday’s win. They had been swept in 3 games by the Cincinnati Reds in their last series Monday through Thursday, but won 5 straight prior to the sweep. Houston is 40-29 at home this season and 72-69 ATS.

Diamondbacks at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Astros 6, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

PASS.

While there is reasonable value here on both sides, the home favorite is the play; however, the odds are better played on the spread over the moneyline. Avoid this play.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ASTROS -1.5 (+130).

The Astros are 6-3 over their last 9 games, and 5 of the victories were by multiple runs. They have covered the run line in 4 of their last 5 home games. Since acquiring Kikuchi from Toronto, the Astros have won all 6 of his starts and 3 of his last 5 by multiple runs.

The Diamondbacks have lost back-to-back games overall, and Rodriguez has allowed a total of 8 runs in 9 1/3 innings over his last 2 starts. Arizona is 3-4 ATS in its last 7 games. Take ASTROS -1.5 (+130).

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (+100).

Arizona has an electric offense and has gone Over in 7 of its last 8 games. The Diamondbacks have scored at least 6 runs in 6 of their last 8 games. They are 81-55-6 O/U on the season.

The Astros are the opposite at 56-80-5 O/U but have gone north of the total in 3 of their last 5 games. Considering those trends, take OVER 8.5 (+100).

Diamondbacks at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Astros 3

Moneyline

BET DIAMONDBACKS (+144).

The Diamondbacks have played extremely well with Pfaadt on the mound over the last month. Arizona is 6-1 in his last 7 starts and has won 8 of its last 9 on the road overall.

Despite Valdez’s success, the Astros have scored 3 or more runs in just 3 of their last 6 games and tallied a total of 8 in their last series against the Reds.

Considering those trends and the lack of value elsewhere for a team-specific wager, take DIAMONDBACKS (+144).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

As road underdogs, the Diamondbacks are too expensive to take here, and the Astros are too risky as home favorites, especially considering how well Arizona plays with Pfaadt on the mound.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-104).

The Astros and Diamondbacks will both be starting one of their best pitchers Friday. Houston has gone Under in 4 of its last 6 games and is 55-80-5 O/U on the season. It has allowed 2 or fewer runs in 4 of its last 6 games as well.

The Diamondbacks have an electric offense but will be facing one of the best pitchers in the league. They scored just twice in their last game against the Giants. Similarly, the Astros’ cold offense could struggle to produce.

Take UNDER 7.5 (-104).

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Giants 2

Moneyline

BET DIAMONDBACKS (+125).

Arizona is 3-1 in its last 4 games overall and has won 8 straight on the road, while the Giants have dropped 4 straight overall and are only 3-7 in their last 10.

The Diamondbacks are also 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall and 4-1 in the last 5 in San Francisco.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Diamondbacks will cover here as +1.5 (-185) underdogs, but their odds are safer on the moneyline, and I am not a fan of doubling down, so I advise passing on this bet and playing the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 7.5 (+105).

The Over has hit in 6 straight games for Arizona and is 9-1 in its last 10. For San Francisco, the Over is 3-0 in its last 3 games. The Over has also hit in each of the last 4 overall meetings between these squads and is 4-0-1 in the last 5 in San Francisco.

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Giants 3

Moneyline

Arizona’s (-145) bats are hot. They have scored 6 or more runs in 5 straight games and in 9 of their last 12.

Gallen has allowed 1 ER or fewer in his last 4 starts following a 3+ ER outing.

Arizona is 6-2 in his last 8 starts.

The Diamondbacks have now won 7 games in a row, and the Giants have lost 4 of their last 5 at home.

Expect the Diamondbacks to pick up a win and series victory, but you get better odds on the run line.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Before Tuesday’s opener, the last 9 wins for Arizona were by 2 or more runs. Ten of the 13 wins they have when Gallen starts are by multiple runs. Four of their 5 wins over the Giants have been by multiple runs.

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under

Six of the 8 games these teams have played this season have had at least 8 total runs.

The Diamondbacks are averaging 8.6 runs themselves over their last 5 games.

BET OVER 7.5 (-125).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Giants 5

Moneyline

The DIAMONDBACKS (-115) have won 6 straight games on the road, and  scoring runs has not been a problem. They have scored 6 or more runs in 4 straight games and in 8 of their last 11.

The Giants have not scored more than 5 runs in 14 straight games.

Nelson has been pitching very well, while Harrison struggled more in August.

BET DIAMONDBACKS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks’ last 9 wins have been by multiple runs.

However, 3 of the Giants’ last 6 losses have been by only 1 run.

Betting the Giants to cover the +1.5 at -185 odds doesn’t make sense. While betting the Diamondbacks to cover has a nice payout, after losing 5 of their last 7, a simple win on the moneyline is the way to go.

PASS.

Over/Under

Nine of the Diamondbacks’ last 11 games have had 8 or more total runs. Five of the 7 games between the Diamondbacks and Giants have had at least 8 runs.

BET OVER 7.5 (-110).
