Arizona Diamondbacks vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

This is a good place to take the Diamondbacks. Gallen gave up four runs in his last start, and it’s going to be much of the same here. Crawford gave up three runs in his last start, but he has a higher ERA, and he’s going to be lit up here. The Diamondbacks are going to run up the score and this game is going to get out of control early. Back the Diamondbacks on the money line to cash here.
