Randy Johnson is having trouble getting minor leaguers out.
Sanchez is not MLB ready and Arizona is hitting very well.

I don't get it. I know that park has some under tendencies but 7.5 seems way too low. Plus, the wind is blowing out like crazy. Normally it blows out at 10-15 MPH but it's as high as 30 MPH going out right now.

I just don't get it.

Same here. 75% of my numbers are better when I wake up and I FULLY expected this one to be at O8.5 -115 or so, but then I woke up and saw the sucker went down another half run. On Wagerline, the over is very heavily favored as well. Something is fishy.

Opened at O8 -120 at BetJam and not too long ago was U7.5 -120. That's a HUGE move since the public loves the over. There has to be something I'm not seeing.

Giants have a hard time putting up runs, but ya gotta figure they will get to RJ a bit in this spot.

Neither pens super impressive, and Zona can put up runs quick. I'm on the over 8 (even) and I also played Zona for a unit.

Good luck whatever you do.

Diamondbacks, SF Giants Over 7½
Game Time: 04/14/2008 10:15 PM Diamondbacks, SF Giants Over 7½ - MLB Matchups -Diamondbacks, SF Giants Over 7½ - MLB Line Moves

By: Al McMordie | bigal.com
The Big Unit makes his first start of the season tonight for the Diamondbacks in San Francisco. Don't expect the old Randy Johnson, play the Over when the Giants host Arizona.

Our Monday night MLB selection is on the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants scoring over the total at AT&T Park in the Bay City.
Diamondbacks, SF Giants Over 7½

Veteran left-hander and certain Hall-of-Famer Randy Johnson has not pitched in a major league game since last June due primarily to his sore back, but all systems are apparently a "go" to bring him off the DL and he will get his first start of the season tonight in San Francisco. Johnson pitched last Tuesday in a minor league game and his fastball apparently only reached 92 MPH, certainly not the kind of velocity we would have expected out of him a few years ago.

One has to wonder whether this is a wise move by the Diamondbacks since they seem to be winning at will right now and don't need much help with their pitching. If Johnson comes back for a while but then lands back on the DL, you would have to think that the D-Backs might regret getting him off the DL and into the rotation at this stage of the season.

This game will feature two left-handed starters whose ages are 19 years apart as southpaw Jonathan Sanchez will take the mound for the Giants. Sanchez was only six-years-old when Johnson made his major league debut in 1988. And Sanchez is five years older than perhaps the hottest hitter in the majors right now, that being 20-year-old Arizona outfielder Justin Upton.

The Total on this ballgame opened at 8 but has been bet down to 7½ runs. Especially with this half-run move, I think there's value in playing the Over, as I'm looking for a high-scoring game. Take the Over.

Free Pick: Diamondbacks-Giants Over 7½ (-110)

Sanchez got lit up by Arizona last season as well as his first start against Milwaukee. With this being Johnson's first start I think this game fliesssss over.

I agree total seems real low. Funny thing is that the line moves at SFO stadium in 2007 were almost always correct. Somebody must know something. Is Hirshbeck going to rear his head for the first time?

In SF home games at night, they seem to have difficulty scoring. Days games at AT&T seem to be going over the posted total that past couple seasons.
