AI GeneratedThe Diamondbacks face a critical series against the Red Sox. While Boston may be favored in some matchups due to their current hot streak, Arizona is surging after a strong series against the Braves. Both teams are postseason contenders, making this a high-stakes series where a sweep is unlikely and the outcomes should be closely contested.
So the Diamondbacks this week will have Brandon Fock going on Wednesday, but they'll have to
kind of squeak out a win somehow against Ranger Suarez and Peyton Toley on Monday or Tuesday.
This is a really good series coming up. Mitch Bratt is still in that rotation for Arizona
while Gallin gets healthy. They really have no other options here. You know, on paper,
Red Sox probably favored, I would say, in at least two of these three games,
but Arizona's a good team, Tom. Like, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Diamondbacks win two out
of three here. I would doubt a sweep is coming for either team. Right. The Diamondbacks just put
together a good series against the Braves. They won a couple there based on where the Diamondbacks
are and how they've been surging. I know the Red Sox have been super hot, but I think this is going
to be a little bit closer to some closer money lines in this one, a little bit more even across
the board. The Peyton Toley one may not be just because he's been so, so good for them, but
really fun series. Like, this is an actual two postseason team, bound teams that really both
need to win. It's going to be good.
