Diamondbacks vs Rays Prediction

I’m on the Diamondbacks in this one. I’m simply backing the team in far better form right now, and the Diamondbacks have been a team that’s smacked around righties this season. The Rays are just in a funk right now, and I think the Diamondbacks pick up another win here. Give me the D-Backs.
