Phillies vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Phillies are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Diamondbacks and have won their last two visits in Arizona.
In this Phillies vs Diamondbacks Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. I like the Phillies to keep rolling in this series, as they have won the first two games by holding the Dbacks into just one scored run in each. Painter has been very good since returning from an injury in late July, having given up two runs or less in four of his six starts and Philly’s bullpen has been excellent lately. The Dbacks are going for a bullpen game and I don’t trust them against a red-hot Phillies team that was won six straight, having just six earned runs in its last four. Take the Phillies to win.
