Diamondbacks vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Strider and Gallen are among five pitchers tied for the major league lead in victories. Strider enters play today with an 11-3 record and a 3.66 ERA, while Gallen has posted an 11-4 record with a 3.14 ERA. Both pitchers were All-Stars and while each guy struggled to some degree in his first start following the break, both are among the best in the league this season and should pitch well today. I like the under.
