Arizona Diamondbacks vs Oakland Athletics Prediction

I’m hesitant to get behind Zac Gallen given the long layoff and the hamstring issue. However, Gallen is one of the better pitchers in baseball when he’s right, and I’m going to bank on that. I also want little to do with the Oakland Athletics, regardless of opponent or pitching matchup. I’m fading the Athletics most nights no matter what. The Diamondbacks are the better team and Gallen is an all star caliber pitcher. Give me the Diamondbacks, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
