Braves vs. Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m on the over here. Charlie Morton’s been susceptible on the road more than at home this season and I think the Diamondbacks are still hitting well enough against righties in the last two weeks to get some offensive get back here but on the other side, I don’t trust the Diamondbacks pitching staff right now outside of Zac Gallen, especially that Diamondbacks bullpen. All in all, I think we have a more competitive game here and a game that cruises to an over.
