Philadelphia Phillies vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction 

Arizona rolls into this game after winning game two on Friday night and they are one of the hotter teams in the MLB right now. The Diamondbacks are right with the Dodgers and Padres in the NL West and they are 32-26 at home this year. Philadelphia is 31-26 on the road, but they have struggled over the last few weeks. The Phillies continue to lead the NL East, but the Mets are starting to get within striking distance. Gallen is coming off of a rough start last time out for Arizona, while Nola has been pretty sharp recently. My Philadelphia Phillies vs Arizona Diamondbacks prediction is for the Phillies to get the win.
