Miami Marlins vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I’m on the Diamondbacks in this one. This is must-win for both teams with respect to the playoff race in the NL but I think this ends up being a game that Arizona takes. Alcantara’s started to get hit hard in some of his recent outings, and I think Arizona can get to him while Burnes looked good in limited action in his return and I look for Arizona to keep that going here. I think Arizona takes care of business so give me the Diamondbacks.
