Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I think this is a great pitching matchup, with Luzardo going here against a Diamondbacks team that’s been up and down against lefties, while Michael Soroka’s been off to a strong start this season. The bullpens can always get a bit dicey, but I think the starters do enough to put us in a good position for an under here. Give me the under.
