Diamondbacks +155 at Dodgers -175

Young vs Maeda

 

I believe Arizona could be a live dog here today.  

 

ARI is 30-21 over the last 3 seasons vs LA

ARI is 8-3 last 11 Saturday games

LA is batting .209 vs LHP last 10 games

Maeda has not had a win since May 31

 

Maeda has allowed 3 or more runs in 5 of his last 6 starts.  He is 0-4, 6.16 ERA in his last 7 starts. August has been his worst month over his career with ERA of 5.00.  Maeda has a 4.54 career ERA vs ARI and 5.24 ERA against them over his last 5 starts. The most glaring stat is that LA has lost 6 of the last 7 games Maeda has started vs ARI.  

 

Alex Young in his first season has gone 4-1, 2.60 ERA for ARI.  He has only allowed more than 2 runs once in his 6 starts. He is 3-0, 1.93 ERA in road starts.  Opponents are batting .167 vs Young this season.  

 

I like the Dbacks in some fashion here.  Their bullpen has an ERA of 5.19 over the last 10 games so that is worrisome.  Still going to be value on a first 5 Inning play. A couple of options, Just choose 1 that you like the best here.   ARI is +149 for the first 5 innings.

 

Pick Options

ARI Over 1.5/-132  First 5 Innings/Small

Or

ARI +0.5/-105 First 5 Innings/Small
