Arizona Diamondbacks vs Philadelphia Phillies: Phillies Moneyline

The Diamondbacks are expected to fight in the tough NL West Division, however, they have had a somewhat inconsistent start to the season, with their offense producing regularly, but with their pitchers having trouble putting in good performances. For their part, the Phillies have been more consistent in both aspects, averaging 4.60 runs scored and 4.00 runs allowed per game. Jesús Luzardo will be the Phillies’ starter for this game, and will try to maintain the rhythm that has him with an ERA. of 1.73 in 36.1 innings pitched. The Phillies have a record of 11-4 at home, and we expect them to add one more win here.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Philadelphia Phillies: Under 9.5

Luzardo has had a spectacular season so far, and has allowed 1 or fewer runs in four of his last five starts, a performance that could continue against a Dbacks team that struggles to produce away from home. However, the visitors will have Merrill Kelly as their starter, who has an ERA. of 4.41, but has done a much better job recently, allowing only one run in his last three starts. This will be a great pitching duel, in which the pitchers will dominate things and leave a low-scoring game.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

These are two of the best teams in the National League, and while both have an offense capable of producing runs, on this occasion the main focus will be the pitchers, as Luzardo and Kelly are coming in great form and will be able to limit the two offenses. In addition, considering the good level they have shown at home, we expect the Phillies to take the win.
