Angels at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 6, Angels 4
Moneyline
The Diamondbacks (-165) will likely win at home against the Angels, but I prefer the plus-money odds on their run line.
PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
Seven of Arizona’s last 10 wins have been by multiple runs, and Montgomery has had success in his career against the Angels. L.A. exploded for 9 runs Sunday, but it had scored a total of just 12 over its previous 7 games.
BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+115).
Over/Under
The Over has hit in 3 straight for Arizona and is 14-9-1 in Angels games when they’re coming off a win this season. Suárez and Montgomery have struggled this season, and each team scored 9 runs in its most recent game.
BET OVER 9 (-110).
