Nelson has had an up-and-down season but looked sharper in his last outing. He’ll need to keep the ball down to avoid damage against an Angels lineup that’s shown power recently.

The Diamondbacks’ bats have started heating up as well, giving them a shot to continue their momentum. Anderson has been reliable, leaning on his mix of speed and location rather than overpowering stuff. He’ll look to keep Arizona off balance by getting ahead early in counts. The Angels’ offense continues to revolve around timely hits and capitalizing on mistakes, something they did well on Wednesday.

The Diamondbacks look to build off a win over San Diego, while the Angels are coming off a big win of their own. Expect Arizona to cover the -1.5 spread against this Angels squad. Final score prediction, Arizona wins 6-3.
