Pick

The Diamondbacks were able to get a huge win on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the series and they will look to make it two in a row in this game. Arizona is in the second NL Wild Card spot, but the Cubs, Marlins, and Reds are all within a few games. The Diamondbacks are starting Brandon Pfaadt, who has allowed 5, 0, 4, 3, and 5 earned runs in his last five outings. The White Sox are starting Luis Patino, who has allowed one earned run in four of his last five outings and will not go more than a few innings. I think we could see another higher scoring game in this matchup, but I cannot take the White Sox with how poorly they have played. Take Arizona to get another win here.
