Diamondbacks are playing well at home 20-12 this year while the Nats are 11-21 ont he road. Jason Marquis has finally started to come back to life with an ERA over 6 in his last 3 starts combined and he's got a 5.75 ERA on the road this year. Ian Kennedy has been consistent all year long and I like the advantage the Dbacks have with their bats as they have hit Marquis hard in the past he's got an ERA at 9.00 over his last 3 starts vs. ARizona and Arizona in their last 10 games are putting up more than 6 runs per 9 vs. RHP while the Nats are at just 3.19 over their last 10. Look for Kennedy to throw a gem while Marquis battles and gives up 1 or 2 home runs.
Rockies/Giants. This match up opened with SF as big favorites but the line has moved the other way. Vogelsong has been lights out at home with an ERA at 0.38 so you have to scratch your head at the line movement particularly since the Rockies have scored just 2 runs per game over their last 10. I think they are expecting a good game from Hammel and the Giants are under in their last 13 games 11 times. and the under is 36-15-2 in their last 53 meetings. I like the odds we get at 7 and I'll roll with it.
