Diamondbacks vs. Brewers Prediction

I’m on the over here. I simply don’t trust either one of these starters, with Montgomery still boasting an ERA over six as we enter the final week of the season, while Montas was still a head-scratching acquisition for me from Milwaukee’s standpoint as he was never really good this season and in this matchup, the Diamondbacks are crushing right-handed pitching as they have been for much of the second half of the year. I’ll roll with the over in this one.
