Angels at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Angels 5

Moneyline

The Diamondbacks (-188) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too risky with Pfaadt on the bump. While the Arizona RHP has much better splits at home than on the road, he has still been rather erratic this season.

However, the Angels (+158) also can’t be trusted on the road as moderate underdogs, as Canning is winless on the road, and so far he hasn’t looked like he has a clue away from home.

AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread

The ANGELS +1.5 (-138) are worth playing catching the run-and-a-half. Neither of these pitchers have been terribly consistent this season, and we should get a game that resembles batting practice or beer league softball, with runs aplenty, and the lead swapping hands frequently.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-108) is the best play on the board in this interleague series finale.

Canning has been very giving on the road, while Pfaadt has been very giving on the season. Both hurlers have an ERA at 4.60 or higher.

The Over is on a 5-0 roll for the Snakes, while going 10-2 in the past 12 outings. The total has gone high in each of Pfaadt’s past 2 outings, while going 3-1 in the past 4 starts.

While the Under is 3-0 in the past 3 starts by Canning, that’s mostly due to a lack of offense, not anything he is doing.

Angels at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Angels 4

Moneyline

The Diamondbacks (-165) will likely win at home against the Angels, but I prefer the plus-money odds on their run line.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Seven of Arizona’s last 10 wins have been by multiple runs, and Montgomery has had success in his career against the Angels. L.A. exploded for 9 runs Sunday, but it had scored a total of just 12 over its previous 7 games.

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 3 straight for Arizona and is 14-9-1 in Angels games when they’re coming off a win this season. Suárez and Montgomery have struggled this season, and each team scored 9 runs in its most recent game.

BET OVER 9 (-110).
