Zac Gallen is a monster at home. In 60 innings pitched, he has allowed just ten earned runs total and has hit this prop in eight out of nine home games. Gallen at home is 8-0 with a 1.50 ERA. I expect a bounce back from his last game on the road, where he struggled.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Playing against the Pittsburgh Pirates feels like a nice spot to get right. They hit lefties much better than righties, so Gallen isn’t their ideal matchup. Against right-handed pitching, they hit just .234, which is nothing too intimidating. Pittsburgh is also on a travel day from Los Angeles to Arizona, which should help us if anything.
Gallen had arguably his worst start of the season against Pittsburgh, but he’s the type of elite pitcher that can and should correct his mistakes against them. I just don’t see Pittsburgh hitting him again, especially not at home where he out here like a man possessed. We’ll keep this one brief; let's roll!
