Philadelphia Phillies vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Diamondbacks can’t afford to get swept at home if they’re serious about making the playoffs. It’s that simple. Painter is coming off a strong August, but he’s still a rookie with a 5.95 ERA and 1.44 WHIP on the season. On the road through 50.1 innings, Painter has a 6.09 ERA and a .281 allowed batting average. Through 62.1 innings, Clarke has been strong with a 2.60 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. Pretty much a must-win for the Diamondbacks. Give me the home team on the quick turnaround.
