Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Cincinnati Reds Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. I get the case to be made for either side here, but I don’t trust the pitching on either side here, as Gallen’s been getting roughed up for the better part of the season and Singer’s had issues at times keeping runs off of the board as evidenced by a season-long ERA just under five. The bullpens at times can be shaky, too, so I’m banking on some runs here to close out the set. Give me the over.
