Pick
I’m backing the Diamondbacks here. I’m not the biggest Tommy Henry fan, but since the beginning of May, Henry’s pitched pretty well at home with a sub-2.00 ERA. On the other side, I’ve thought the Phillies have been overhyped since the beginning of the season and I think we’re finally seeing the Diamondbacks get the respect they deserve. Arizona keeps finding ways to win and I think they find the way here as well. Give me Arizona.
