Zac Gallen is one of the best pitchers in baseball, and he’s been great through 11 innings. Gallen has also owned the Rockies throughout his career. You can argue the Diamondbacks should be bigger favorites, as this is a complete mismatch on the mound. Give me the Diamondbacks and the RL for max betting value.
