I am tempted to take the TT at 4.5. Arizona has been killing it at home, and though Samardzija has been tough this year, he has been a little less so lately. The D-Backs only low scoring home games in the past 3 weeks has been to two lefties, and this guy is a righty. On the other hand, some of the pitchers they've faced have been pretty poor.
Fred,
You are on the right path. Samardjia got off to a promising start this season, but here recently he has been rattled. I have watched his last two starts and he was lucky to not get absolutely blown out on both of them. Arizona is playing good ball. As I mentioned, I think this is an easy 2 out 3 victories for the Diamondbacks and possibly a sweep. The only thing that may stop the sweep is Dempster pitching in this series. He has been pitching brilliantly lately.

My bad. You are correct about Dempster. The injury report I read earlier today did not have his name listed so I went to another source and sure enough he is on the 15 day disabled list. So you can take Dempster out of the picture. Garza is another pitcher who can pitch quite well at times.
