Pitchers Duel: Diamondbacks vs. Cardinals Underdog Pick
23 Jul
Summary
- Arizona Diamondbacks face St. Louis Cardinals in makeup game.
- Both pitchers, Pfaadt and McGreevy, have been performing well.
- The prediction favors an UNDER 7.5 total score for the game.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to play a makeup game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, July 23, following a rainout in their previous series. Arizona recently won two out of three games against the Cardinals at home and also took two of three from the Oakland A's. The Cardinals, meanwhile, had lost four consecutive games before a recent 1-0 victory over the Angels.
This afternoon's game features a potentially strong pitching matchup between Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt (4-1, 4.58 ERA) and St. Louis's Michael McGreevy (4-7, 2.92 ERA). Pfaadt has been impressive since his call-up, and McGreevy has maintained a sub-3.00 ERA despite a losing record. Both pitchers performed well against each other in their last starts.
Given the recent performances of both teams and their pitchers, the prediction for this game leans towards a low-scoring affair. The betting pick is for the total score to be UNDER 7.5, as both teams have shown profitability for UNDER bets this season.
