Diamondbacks Hold Slight Edge as Alex Cobb and Zac Gallen Go Head-to-Head in Low-Scoring Matchup

Alex Cobb and Zac Gallen will be facing each other in what will likely be a low-scoring game. Both teams have seen a decrease in offensive production as of late, so a wise betting strategy would be to stay away. The result could go either way, however the Diamondbacks have a slight advantage due to Gallen's superior performance. So far, the current Giants lineup have only achieved 34 hits with two home runs against Gallen, as opposed to the current Arizona team who achieved 30 hits with four home runs against Cobb.
