Arizona Diamondbacks (82-64) vs Milwaukee Brewers (84-62)

I think we see a lot more runs scored in tonight's game than we did on Friday, so the over is worth a look. I also think Arizona earns the blowout win. Myers has pitched very well this season but there is a reason the Brewers are a giant dog in this game and that's because Chase Field can sometimes be the ultimate equalizer. It is a very tough place to pitch and Myers owns an xERA in the 4.00s so I think this could end up being one of his weakest starts of the year. The Dbacks are a very tough lineup vs. RHP and I think they get on the board early and often. Pfaadt has been shaky the past two months but he is still earning missed bats and his control hasn't been too shabby so while he has to watch the hits, I think he has gotten a bit unlucky with a high BABIP recently. The Brewers will be without their two best relievers in Megill and Williams as they both pitched Thurs/Fri. This is a strong MIL pen but everyone will have to move up in the order tonight and that can be tricky, especially if Myers doesn't go deep (which I don't think he will). I will take Arizona -1.5 here.
