BETTING TRENDS
Philadelphia are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games against Arizona.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Philadelphia's last 8 games on the road.
Philadelphia are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Arizona.
Arizona are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Arizona's last 5 games against Philadelphia.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Arizona's last 7 games at home.
Prediction
The Phillies blew out a 7-0 lead with terrible pitching mistakes and lost the game 13-7 vs Dbacks on Monday. They'll try to tie this series by sending Aaron Nola to the mound who's coming from his best game of the season, pitching a complete scoreless game vs Reds. Zac Gallen will take the mound for the Diamondbacks who has been insane lately and hasn't allowed a single run in his last 27.1 innings pitched. The offenses will be shut down by these great pitchers so expect a low scoring game this time. Take the under.
