2 unit Arizona -117 with Cruz conditional-
Juan Cruz has been on a roll lately!! In his last 3 games, he has a tough luck 2-1 record. His only loss, he only gave up 2 runs while pitching against Tim Hudson. In his last 2 starts, he has won both games he hasnt given up a single run! Arizona also has a great Home record of 17-9. This one will be easy!! Here are a few trends on why you should like this play:
<LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 4-0 in their last 4 games as a home favorite. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 3-0 in their last 3 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. National League East. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 3-0 in their last 3 Tuesday games. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 3-0 in their last 3 home games with the total set at 9.0-10.5. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 3-0 in their last 3 vs. a team with a winning record. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 7-0 in their last 7 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 6-0 in their last 6 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 5-0 in their last 5 games as a favorite. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 3-0 in their last 3 games as a favorite of -110 to -150. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 5-1 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 9-2 in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning record. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 13-3 in their last 16 home games. <LI class=morehot>Diamondbacks are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a left-handed starter. <LI class=more>Diamondbacks are 19-7 in their last 26 games with the total set at 9.0-10.5. <LI class=more>Diamondbacks are 23-9 in their last 32 games on Grass. <LI class=more>Diamondbacks are 23-9 in their last 32 overall. <LI class=more>Diamondbacks are 5-2 in their last 7 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=more>Diamondbacks are 36-15 in their last 51 night games.<LI class=morecool>Phillies are 1-5 in their last 6 games as a road underdog. <LI class=morecool>Phillies are 1-5 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. <LI class=morecool>Phillies are 1-6 in their last 7 games as an underdog.
2 unit play Arizona under 9.5 runs-
Mainly based on reasons above for Cruz, but also the Phillies pitcher has an ERA of only 3.18 this season. Here are a few trends for this play:
<LI class=morehot>Under is 3-0-1 in Diamondbacks last 4 Tuesday games. <LI class=morehot>Under is 3-0-0 in Diamondbacks last 3 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Under is 7-1-0 in Diamondbacks last 8 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Under is 7-1-0 in Diamondbacks last 8 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Over is 5-1-1 in Diamondbacks last 7 games as a home favorite. <LI class=morehot>Under is 4-1-0 in Diamondbacks last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. <LI class=morehot>Under is 4-1-0 in Diamondbacks last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter.
3 units on St Louis -180 with Carpenter conditional-
Cris Carpenter, enough said!
5 units on San Francisco under 7.5 runs -
Battle between the hottest pitchers on these two teams. Schmidt has an over all ERA of 2.70, but more importantly in his last 3 games his era is a meniscule 1.29. Johnson has been a fantasy league suprise this season with a 4-3 record and an overall ERA of 2.42. But in his last 5 games, his ERA is 1.71. This one will be easy with 4 runs Max scoring!!
4 units on Mets under 7 runs
Battle of 2 of the best pitchers in the National League of late. In Pedro's last 3 starts, his ERA is .82. For the year it is a remarkable 2.50. In Derek Lowe's last 3 games his ERA is .45 and for the year is a 2.68. Now you are NEVER going to find 2 pitchers that have pitched better over their last 3 games than these guys! And it isnt like the Mets or Dodgers have any great hitters to worry about beating you with a grand slam. Look for 1-0 win here for most likely the Mets. I am betting the Mets as well as the under. I would even take this game under if the total were 5.5 runs! I remember about 8 years ago when Greg Maddux used to have totals of 6 or 5.5 posted and you STILL bet the Braves under!! Same applies here!!
