MLB FREEBIE: 2* ARI/HOU OVER
The Arizona Diamondbacks thought a managerial shakeup was going to be a kick-start to a decent 2nd half. Trouble is you can’t fire the team. Luis Gonzalez is going to need Tommy John surgery on his elbow and the big off-season move acquiring Richie Sexson turned to crap in May after the 1st baseman tore up his shoulder.
Arizona actually beat Andy Pettitte a couple nights back halting a 14 game losing streak but the good feelings were short lived after last nights drubbing. The Snakes don’t score many runs but Casey Fossum has done his part concerning the totals allowing 19 runs thru 23+ IP. ‘Zona is over in 4 of the last 6 with the lefty including a push.
Whatever Fossum wants to give the Astros, Houston will be more than willing to take it. They are scoring more than 6 RPG their last 11 and have actually won 5 of their last 7. The Rocket saw Milwaukee drill him for 5 runs on 8 hits thru 5+ IP his last outing.
