PREVIEW
We won a couple of nights ago taking Arizona to beat Seattle. Last night the Diamondbacks lost, despite clawing back a 3 run deficit to lead. In the end, Seattle won 12-9 but I feel Arizona will bounce back in todays game. They are the better side.
The Mariners will send southpaw Jason Vargas to the hill, with a 7-6 record and 3.95ERA. His last 2 starts have both been losing efforts, with the last game seeing him get tagged for 4 runs in 8 innings by the SF Giants. In fact, he routinely gives up runs, allowing 3 or more runs in each of his previous 7 games!
The Diamondbacks are going with Trevor Cahill today. He is 5-5 with a 3.08ERA and in direct contrast comes into this one off several wins, 3 straight to be precise. In that time he has allowed just 2 runs, so his pitching has been rock solid.
Cahill has a 2.94ERA against Seattle spanning 11 starts, and coupled with his recent form, the D-Backs home advantage and the bounce back spot from yesterdays loss one would have to go with the home team in this one.
BETTING VERDICT
I'll take Arizona to win tonights game and I'll take the larger odds on the RL bet.
