St. Louis Cardinals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
The Arizona Diamondbacks host the St. Louis Cardinals for the last matchup of their 3-game series. Zac Gallen gets the nod for the Diamondbacks, and I'm taking the over on his 17.5 pitching outs. Since last season, Gallen has been in total command when pitching in front of his home crowd. In 16 appearances at home in 2023, Gallen posted a 2.46 ERA and recorded 18+ outs in 14 of those 16 starts.
Today, he faces a St. Louis Cardinals lineup that has been below average at the plate. The Cardinals come in at 22nd in wRC+ (88) vs. right-handed pitching, 24th in on-base percentage (.296), and are below league average in pitches per plate appearance. The last eight opposing right-handed starting pitchers have recorded 18+ outs against St. Louis, and I expect a similar result from Zac Gallen on his home field.
