Our Houston Astros vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
The Difference Maker: The Astros have just better offense than the Diamondbacks over the past weeks.
Merrill Kelly is coming off an impressive outing, blanking the San Francisco Giants through seven innings in a 7-1 win. However, Christian Javier has never given up more than 2 runs in any of his last three starts against the D-Backs.
Moreover, you can feel that Houston just knows how to beat Arizona based on their dominant 8-2 record in the last 10 meetings.
What to Expect: The Astros solve Merrill Kelly again while Yordan Alvarez and company deliver the goods to help Houston sustain their supremacy over Arizona and cover -1.5 runs.
Fearless Forecast: The Astros 8, the D-Backs 4
Our betting prediction for the Houston Astros vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks: The Astros -1.5 runs
