MLB Betting Trends
Arizona
The under iw 6-1-1 in the last eight Diamondbacks road games. Arizona is 14-4 in its last 18 road games.
Atlanta
The Braves are 7-2 in their last nine Sunday games. Atlanta is 2-8 in its last 10 games overall.
Prediction:
Arizona has used solid pitching the last two days and with Corbin on the mound, I’d expect it to continue. Both pitchers have been shelled at various times this season, but Corbin throws gems more often. I’m going to ride the Diamondbacks wave.
