Arizona Diamondbacks vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

The Arizona Diamondbacks are making moves at the deadline and that does wonder for the clubhouse and can be a needed shot in the arm. The Diamondbacks are having a great week overall, and Brandon Pfaadt has been money this month. Pfaadt has allowed 1 run in his last 17.1 innings. Marco Gonzales doesn’t have the sample size this season to trust, especially on the road. Give me the Diamondbacks and the somewhat reasonable price.
