Diamondbacks vs Angels Prediction, Betting Analysis
Zac Gallen is expected to get the start for the Diamondbacks, while the Angels are scheduled to start All-Star Yusei Kikuchi.
The Japanese pitcher has a 1.69 ERA in nine starts at home this season.
In last season's battle between these two, Kikuchi (five) allowed more walks than Gallen (two).
However, Kikuchi will try not to repeat the nightmare that Ketel Marte made him live the last time they faced, where the Arizona slugger smashed a grand slam off the lefty.
Evan Abrams' Silent Sharp Unders system targets regular-season MLB games where both teams are performing well, yet the total has quietly dropped from open to close.
This is one of those games featuring competent, winning teams with recent success, stable weather conditions, and closing totals in a standard scoring range.
Despite both teams showing strength, the market subtly favors the under, likely due to matchup specifics, pitching, or pace factors.
Pick: Under 8.5 (+100, BetMGM)
