Diamondbacks vs Angels Prediction

The Diamondbacks won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, but teh teams have traded victories lately. I expect another close duel, and it’s possible that one run will decide, so I will stay away from betting on the winner. I’ll go with Under instead. Zac Gallen wasn’t good in June, when he posted a 6.23 ERA, but in two starts in July, he was impressive with one earned run in two starts. Yusei Kikuchi, on the other hand, was excellent in June, posting a 2.25 ERA, and although he had some trouble in his most recent start against Texas, allowing four runs in 5.0 innings, I am sure he will come back stronger here. Los Angeles’s bullpen will be a problem later in the game, but I expect no more than nine runs in this one.
