Tonight's matchup between San Diego and Arizona is going to be a snoozer if you are into seeing a lot of runs scored. Two of the best pitchers in the majors in Haren and Peavy will square off tonight, and strangely enough, Peavy is actually favored in this one. Not by much, just enough that it peeked our interest...On to the matchup.
Arizona Diamondbacks -103 at San Diego Padres -107
The Diamondbacks are exactly 20 games ahead of the Padres in the NL West. That is right, they are 20 Games ahead! So, no matter who you have in the mound, unless it is Cy Young himself, it is most likely a good option to bet against the team that is 20 Games behind, especially when they are the favorite.
To add to all of this, it is not like Haren is a slouch. He is striking out over 8 per 9 IP, has an ERA of 3.12 and an astounding WHIP of 1.06!! This guy is money! Peavy is excellent in his own right, but at least Haren has some guys getting him some run support. Go with the Diamondbacks tonight.
