After a huge win against their National League rival, the Philadelphia Phillies will continue their journey on the road to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. The LA Dodgers were rocked as the Phils racked nine runs, restricting them to only four. Despite trailing the Dodgers 4-1, their offense kicked in to secure the win.

Tyler Phillips picked up the win after surrendering four runs in five innings. Kolby Allard will get the mound as their starter in Game 1. The rookie has a 4.50 ERA with a 0-0 record. Allard has a 9-24 career record with a 6.05 ERA. The Phils and their star-studded offense will need to step in to save Allard in this game.

The D'backs continue to battle with the Dodgers for the top spot in the NL West. They trail the Dodgers by only three games with a 63-52 record. Undoubtedly, they remain one of the contenders for the playoffs.

Arizona is riding a four-game winning streak and is coming off a sweep against the Guardians in an important series. Jordan Montgomery will be sent to the mound in Game 1.

With a 7-5 record, the southpaw has a 6.37 ERA. The D'backs signed Montgomery in hopes of bolstering their starting rotation, however, he continues to struggle.

The Diamondbacks have a veteran pitcher on the mound but the Phils are going in with a rookie. Yet it's worth noting that Montgomery has not been particularly great. The D'backs will try to take advantage of Allard but the Phils have a strong team ERA that is ranked second in the MLB (3.60).

The D'backs have a team ERA of 4.50 and are ranked 25th. However, they have scored more runs than their opponent and are ranked No. 1 with 594. The odds are against the D'backs as they remain the underdog.

Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 (-1110)
