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).
