St. Louis Cardinals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m on the Diamondbacks in this one. I think St. Louis is the better team, but we’re seeing Arizona playing some decent baseball in July and you can make a strong case that Rodriguez is the best arm that’s healthy for Arizona right now. I think Arizona gets it done here so give me the Diamondbacks.
