Cincinnati Reds at Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

Heading into Monday’s matchup between Arizona and Cincinnati, look for the Diamondbacks to pick up the win. Look for Arizona to have another big offensive performance, as Mike Minor has failed to pitch into the 5th inning in his first two starts. The last time Minor faced the Diamondbacks,
they went deep twice. I like Arizona on the moneyline.
