Phillies vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Phillies are 3-1 in their last 4 head-to-head meetings against the Diamondbacks, but the Dbacks are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Arizona. Over is 4-2 in their last 6 meetings.
In this Phillies vs Diamondbacks Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -115 home favorites. Gallen has been in good form for the Dbacks lately, having one earned run or less in four of his last five starts, and he has been slightly better at home. On the flip side, Nola has been terrible for the Phillies this season, and has been atrocious on the road, with a 7.00 ERA. He has 6 earned runs in two of his last three starts, and I don’t trust him on the road against a Dbacks team fighting for a Wild Card spot. Take the Arizona Diamondbacks to get the job done at home in this one.
