Dodgers vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favored for obvious reasons, as they’re the better team, at home, and Snell has been good this season. Snell has allowed seven earned runs in 32 innings. The Diamondbacks have underachieved all year, and Gallen hasn’t been himself this season. I get it. However, we’re getting almost two times our money with a pitcher who has received CY Young votes in his career. Gallen is one of the better pitchers in baseball when he’s right and while he’s struggled overall, he’s allowed 27 hits and 10 runs in his last 29 innings. At this price, I’ll take a shot in the dark with the Diamondbacks.
