Pick

I’m backing the Diamondbacks here. The Angels offense just continues to stall and there’s only so much heavy lifting that Shohei Ohtani can really do. The Diamondbacks didn’t score much either on Saturday, but they were good enough to get the job done on Saturday and I think they could be good enough here as well, especially with their ace on the mound. Give me the D-Backs.
