Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Detroit Tigers Prediction
I’m on the Diamondbacks in this one. I get the case to be made for the Tigers here after looking so dominant in the first two games of the series. However, I was left scratching my head when the Tigers went out and got Chris Paddack from Minnesota, as I felt there were better options out there as trade bait, as Paddack’s had issues for the better part of the season, and I think that the Diamondbacks continue those issues for him here. Ryne Nelson’s been a solid option for the Diamondbacks this season and I think Nelson helps salvage something for Arizona here. Give me Arizona here.
