Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I just don’t trust either starting pitcher here and I think both could get roughed up early and often in this matchup and then are also followed up by two questionable bullpens so give me the over in a high-scoring affair on Sunday.
