Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 (+110) vs San Fran Giants
D-Backs on the Hill:
Micah Owings is in the zone, plain and simple. Throwing atleast 6 innings every game, never allowing more then 3 runs, ERA sitting pretty at 2.29, 3-0 on the year, getting just shy of 9K per 9 innings, not walking over 2 batters. His 3 wins this year were @ Colorado, vs Los Angeles, and most recently @ San Fran. Thats right 3 division wins to start the year, 2 of them away from home. Diamondbacks are coming off a loss which snapped a prior 4 game win streak. D-Backs are 1st in the league in team ERA.
D-Backs at the dish:
But, the D-Backs bats are also getting it done. The D-Backs have put up less then 4 runs one time this year, thats right one time. They are tearing the cover off the ball and are the main reason why the D-Backs stand before us at 13-5.
Giants on the hill:
Now they are opposing Kevin Correia who has sandwiched one excellent start between two bad starts. I'm leaning more towards the bad start vs a tough line up in a tough ball park to win in. The Giants are 23rd in the league in team ERA. Take out my boy Tim Lincecums ERA of 1.57 in 4 starts and it could get pretty ugly.
Giants attempting to hit the ball:
The Giants bats are always going to be a lower scoring team but will occasionally have some spurts like 8 run performance yesterday. Unlike the D-Backs the Giants have scored 4 runs or less an astounding 13 times in 19 games. That won't get it done tonight.
Historical Bullshit:
The D-Backs are also 8-2 in the last 10 vs SF in Arizona. Micah Owings one prior start at home vs SF was a complete game shut out. Just 6 days ago he held the Giants to two runs over 6 innings in a winning effort.
The Prediction:
Arizona Diamondbacks 7
SF Giants 2
