The 7-3 Diamondbacks are hot, winning their last two series and in a good position at home to finish off the Brewers today. They are hitting well for a change, climbing to 5th in the league lately, and passing the Brewers who have cooled off in recent games. August pitcher of the Month Zac Gallen has continued to dominate the opposition. He is 5-0, with an ERA of 0.80 in his last 7 games, regularly pitches for 7 innings, and has been very good vs the Brewers this year.
Gallen faces reliever/occasional starter Alexander for the Brewers. He has had mixed results this season with an road ERA of 5.29 , but pitched effectively in his one August start after a recall from Triple A. He is unlikely to pitch for length today.
Gallen and the D-backs are in a very good spot. They are solid as a home favorite but have one weakness; their bullpen. It failed them on Saturday, but was solid in their previous two games, and it is unlikely that Gallen will need too much support. Take the D-backs, a favorite today, to win outright.
