Diamondbacks vs. Phillies Pick
After crushing the Phillies last night, will the Diamondbacks supply bettors with another win on the runline today when the two teams meet at 3:05PM ET?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Diamondbacks are -160 money line favorites over the Phillies, who have odds of +145 to pull off the upset today at home. The total, meanwhile, sits at 7 runs with Zack Greinke set to face Jerad Eickhoff in the pitching matchup.
Bet Today’s Diamondbacks vs. Phillies Game
ARIZONA: The Diamondbacks have been a fantastic bet of late with Greinke on the hill. They’re a perfect 6-0 in his last six starts, are 5-0 in his last five road starts, and are 4-0 in his last four outings when he’s coming off four days of rest. Granted, the D-Backs are just 3-8 in their last 11 games coming off a win, but have been a strong play for bettors when Greinke toes the rubber.
PHILADELPHIA: Even though Eickhoff has pitched better than his numbers would suggest, the Phillies haven’t won much when he pitches. They’re 1-4 in his lat five starts coming off four days of rest, are 1-4 in his last five starts versus an opponent with a losing record, and are 1-7 in his last eight starts when their opponent allows two runs or less in its previous game, as the D-Backs did yesterday in their 10-2 win against Philadelphia.

OUR PREDICTION: Take the Diamondbacks on the runline. After they started the season off as one of the surprise teams in baseball, the Phillies have struggled since. They’re just 6-21 over their last 27 games, are 1-6 in their last seven games following a loss, and they’re winless at 0-4 in their last four home games. Greinke is 4-0 with a 1.54 ERA in his last five outings on the road and should silence the Phillies’ offense today.
