Arizona Diamondbacks vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 09/20/24

The way Arizona is playing right now reminds me of how it finished last year’s season before heading all the way to the World Series, where it lost to the Rangers. It’s unlikely the Diamondbacks will catch the Dodgers in the NL West, but with 9 games left in the regular season they are doing everything they can to stay ahead of the red-hot Braves in the NL wild card. For today’s Diamondbacks vs Brewers prediction, I’m leaning toward the streaking D-Backs.

Taking the mound for Arizona will be Zac Gallen, who is 12-6 this season with a 3.61 ERA. Since the all-star break, Gallen is 6-1 with a 3.28 ERA. Gallen will be making his second start in a row against the Brewers, and in his last start he went 5.0 innings while giving up 3 earned runs and struck out 7. The Brewers are countering with Colin Rea, who is 12-5 this season with a 4.14 ERA.  Earlier in the week Rea made a surprise bullpen appearance to face the Phillies, when he threw 2.2 innings and gave up zero runs. Today, Rea will be wearing a different hat and he’s tagged with the responsibility to try and shut down this D-Backs lineup. Arizona is one of the best hitting teams — if not the best — in all of baseball for the entire season. Unfortunately for Rea, this Arizona lineup is probably going to be too much for him to handle — making the D-Backs money line my best bet of the day.
