Arizona D-Backs at Houston Astros 9/18/20 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Arizona Diamondbacks are playing against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. The Arizona Diamondbacks are throwing right hander, Zac Gallen. Gallen is 1-2 on the year with a 3.15 ERA. The Houston Astros are throwing Right hander, Zack Greinke. Greinke is 3-2 on the year with a 3.77 ERA. The Diamondbacks are 22nd in the MLB in total offense and the Astros are 19th in the MLB in total offense.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are having a terrible season, going 19-31 on the year. The Diamondbacks have not looked good at all this year and will need to step it up if they want to win against a talented Astros squad. The Diamondbacks are led by right fielder, Kole Calhoun. Calhoun is batting .215 this year, to go along with 12 HR and 31 RBIs. Calhoun leads the Arizona Diamondbacks in homeruns and RBIs this year.

The Houston Astros are having a decent season, going 24-25 this year. The Houston Astros are having a hard time showing people that they do not need to cheat to win ball games this season. Houston will look to get back on track against a struggling Arizona team. The Astros are led by center fielder, George Springer. Springer is batting .240, to go along with 10 HR and 25 RBIs. Springer is leading the Astros in homeruns hit this year.

In this matchup I like the Houston Astros to win on the under. The Astros and the Diamondbacks have been struggling to hit the ball well this year and they both have great pitchers on the mound. The under has hit in 49 out of both teams combined 99 games. Final score prediction, the Houston Astros will win on the under 4-3.
