In this Blue Jays vs Diamondbacks Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -125 home favorites. The Blue Jays’s woes continued as they are 1-5 in their last 6 games and have scored just 5 runs in their last three games combined. Max Scherzer takes the mound and was torched in his last start with 8 earned runs against the Twins and will be up against Zac Gallen, who his only home start was a shutout. On top of that, the Jays are 24 th in runs per game this season and are 1-6 on the road, so I don’t expect them to get out of their slump today. Take the Diamondbacks on the moneyline in this one.
