Prediction
The Phillies struggled to score in their last game of the weekend series vs Pirates but they are still averaging 5 runs per game in the last 10 games and are 2-1 against the Diamondbacks this season. For this game they'll send Ranger Suarez to the mound who has been good lately and the Phillies have won in 6 of his last 7 starts. Bumgarner will take the mound for the Diamondbacks who has allowed 4 runs or more in each of his last 5 starts and already lost vs Phillies this season. The Phillies have been on fire and should win this game easy.
