6/21/04: ARIZONA (Fossum) +150 at SAN DIEGO (Valdez) -160:
MLB - 10:05PM (EST)
Not much action on the bases tonight, so we are digging deep here for a nice risk / reward situation in the Diamondbacks & Padres game.
Neither of these two teams are playing very well, Arizona has just 4 wins in their last 10, dropping 5 of their last 6, while the Padres are just (2-8) in their last 10 games, losing 7 of their last 8. In fact, both teams are coming off series against the exact same 3 teams – the Yankees, Tampa Bay & Toronto (& both were swept by the D-Rays).
Yes Valdez has been the better of the two pitchers this season, but considering that both offenses are struggling lately (averaging under 3.5 runs per game in their last 10), it appears the line is over-valuing San Diego at –160.
Again, tonight's play is not as solid as most, so take a look at the numbers for yourself and decide whether the reward of a play on Arizona outweighs the risk.
Best of luck,
