Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Houston Astros

Quick read:

I'm backing the over 9.0 runs because when two clubs that swing like they're at a backyard BBQ meet, you can bet on a slugfest.

Arizona's 628 runs on 1,145 hits and Houston's 639 runs on 1,137 hits prove both squads are more about piling hits than choking the opposition, a recipe for a high‑scoring night.

The only hitch is the pitchers have been generous, surrendering 629 and 675 runs respectively, but that just adds fuel to the fire; the only real risk is a sudden rain delay that trims the game and the run total.
