Arizona Diamondbacks vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

I’m on the under here. I think Sale getting his start pushed from Monday to this slot in Tuesday gives us a heavyweight pitcher’s duel of Sale vs. Gallen. Sale’s been consistent wherever he’s pitched this season, home or away, and Gallen’s been consistently solid at home over the course of his career, and this season has been no different with a sub-2.00 ERA. I think all in all, this game remains highly competitive until the final out, but it’ll be a low-scoring battle at that. Give me the under.
