AMEDEUS' MLB DIAMOND DINGER!
(MLB) Arizona vs. St. Louis,
Money Line: -123.00 Arizona (Away)
Result: Loss
The Diamondbacks are coming into this game with a 12-13 record this season but they have been playing better in their recent games. They have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games and they are coming off of a 14-1 win against the Cardinals in their last game. They are going up against a Cardinals team that is 10-14 this season and has not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and their offense has been awful in those as they have scored just 1 run or less in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games. Their offense will not be any better in this game either as the Diamondbacks have Jordan Montgomery starting and he is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA this season. He has only made 1 start this season but he was great in it as he allowed 1 earned run in 6 innings against the Giants. This is also a game he is going to get up for with his best stuff as he is going up against his former team here, getting traded by the Cardinals last season. Kyle Gibson is starting for the Cardinals in this game and he is 1-2 with a 5.04 ERA this season. He is coming off of a start which he allowed 1 earned run in 6 innings against the Brewers, but he has also allowed at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 starts. He has not had a start this season where he allowed no runs either. The Diamondbacks just scored 14 runs in their game yesterday and their bats have been getting hot again, they are going to score runs in this game while Montgomery keeps the Cardinals offense at bay along with some help from the bullpen. The Diamondbacks will win this game.
