One MLB Bet To Consider On Friday September 29th 2023
Diamondbacks vs. Astros 9:40pm
Diamondbacks Moneyline (-115)
We are going to side with the better starting pitcher in this matchup. Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen threw a 3 hit shutout against the Yankees in his last start. He’s 12-2 with a 2.45 ERA and 1.01 WHIP at home in Arizona this season. The Astros have lost the last two games that J.P. France has started. This month, France has an ERA approaching 6, and a WHIP of 1.72. These two bullpens have performed at a similar rate over the last 30 games. The Astros offense is better, but we aren’t sure that their offensive edge outweighs the starting pitching mismatch. Our wager is a half unit on the Diamondbacks to find a way to win, and to inch closer to a playoff berth.
