Arizona is off a double header with a used up bullpen. They have been rolling up to now but face a Phillies team that beat the Dodgers two out of three games. They have the edge in this game with their starting lineup and pitcher. Allard only has two starts this season but he’s looked better than Montgomery who has an ERA of 5.37 and a WHIP of 1.66. Montgomery is giving up more runs and walks and that is dangerous against a powerful offensive Phillie lineup that sits in the top 8 in the league in all their hitting metrics. The Phillies take game 1 as they take advantage of a taxed Diamondbacks team. Philadelphia is 6-3 in their last 9 games against an opponent in the National League.

Best bet: take Philadelphia on the moneyline (ML).
