Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on Arizona here. I just think that while Zac Gallen has really struggled in his recent outings, the White Sox haven’t been a team that seem like they can give Gallen problems. This could be a great spot for Gallen to hit the reset button. Sean Burke hasn’t been a top-tier starter by any stretch, and I think this could be a great spot for the Diamondbacks to keep the momentum going against a clearly inferior opponent. Give me the Diamondbacks here.
