Brewers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Diamondbacks as an underdog here is a bit confusing. Rodriguez has been solid this season through 28 innings with a 2.89 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. Sproat hasn’t been good through 22.1 innings with a 6.45 ERA and 1.57 WHIP. Both teams have been hit or miss, but the Diamondbacks have the edge on the mound. If forced to pick a side, I’m going with the team with the starter in better form. Give me the Diamondbacks.
