(#957) Arizona Diamondbacks // MONEYLINE //.

Zac Gallen (4-8, 5.19 ERA) vs. Austin Gomber (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

Although Zac Gallen hasn't been at his very best this season by any means, I still believe that he's a very quality starter for the most part in the big leagues. Over the past couple of seasons, he's been one of my top arms to watch in the big leagues. The way he carries himself is excellent in my opinion. Now, even though this is a very tough place to pitch when you're trying to improve your numbers, this should be a good spot to get a win for Arizona at least.

The Rockies did just win their series against the Nationals. However, I still don't believe in this team as they own the worst record in baseball right now. Looking at their run line stats, they are the worst in baseball as well at just 40% on the season. That somewhat surprisingly drops to 35% at home. Even with Gomber on the mound (hasn't allowed a run yet) I've got the DBacks winning this one by multiple runs.

Burns' Prediction: 11-4 Diamondbacks.

(#969) Cleveland Guardians @ (#970) Athletics // UNDER //.

Tanner Bibee (4-6, 3.79 ERA) vs. Jeffrey Springs (5-5, 4.52 ERA) .

While neither pitcher has been necessarily dominant this season, I believe that both have shown potential to have much improved second halves of the season. We all know that Tanner Bibee is more than capable of pitching lights out. I mean we've seen it the past couple of years. His record isn't amazing. However, his ERA isn't actually that bad this year. I expect him to start winning some more games now as the Guardians start to win more games.

On the other hand, Jeffrey Springs doesn't have as good of an ERA but is still pitching alright this campaign in my opinion. The A's lefty had a bit of a rough patch near the end of May and in early June but was much better against the Royals last time out. He was a very good arm for the Rays over the past few years and he's just getting warm again, with his new team of course.

I believe that both of these two teams will struggle to hit the ball in this game. Both pitchers are feeling more and more confident as the season gets older and it's time for both to throw gems. Yes, the field doesn't help too much being a AAA ballpark. But, this number is way too high for these two on the bump. Hammer the "under."

Burns' Prediction: 3-2 Guardians.
