The Believer12:58 PM
Soroka is back, and at this ballpark he has been untouchable all year.
The Believer12:59 PM
Arizona just took a series off the Dodgers for the first time since 2018. The worst pitching staff in baseball is on the other side. Six-two, and I am not losing sleep.
The Quant1:01 PM
Arizona to win, 1.62 at 1xBet. Just the win, not the run line.
The Quant1:02 PM
The run line pays more and I understand the temptation. But Soroka has not pitched since June and nobody has told us his limit. He is gone early and the bullpen finishes this. I will take the result and skip the margin.
The Skeptic1:04 PM
I am on it, but not for his reasons. Nobody is backing Soroka tonight. They are backing four innings of Arizona's bullpen.
The Skeptic1:05 PM
And Goodman has thirty-three home runs. He does not need a rally, he needs one swing. Five-four, and I watch through my fingers.
FT CALL · ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 5–4
The Believer1:07 PM
Through your fingers. The worst staff in baseball is pitching to us and you are nervous.
The Believer1:08 PM
Colorado's bats were built a mile up in the air. They are not a mile up tonight. Six-two.
FT CALL · ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 6–2
The Quant1:10 PM
The layoff is exactly why I am not asking for a margin. Colorado's lineup reads better than it travels. Take the win and go home.

THE BARTENDER · LAST CALL
Michael Soroka comes off the injured list against the worst pitching staff in baseball, and all three take Arizona to win. The Quant will not buy the margin because nobody knows how long Soroka lasts, and the Skeptic is on board while trusting the bullpen about as far as he can throw it.
