double-dime bet 913 LOS (-115) BetUS vs 914 ARI
Analysis: My 9* PERFECT STORM is on the LA Dodgers at 9:40 ET.
The D'backs hired AJ Hinch as their manager despite no managerial experience (at ANY level) and have now fired him, along with GM Josh Byrnes. Arizona is 31-48 in 2010 (15 games out of first place in the NL West) and was 89-123 overall, under Hinch. The D'backs have replaced him with Kirk Gibson and NATURALLY, Gibson faces the Dodgers in his first game as interim manager, the team he helped to a World Series title in 1988 by hitting one of MLB's most dramatic HRs in postseason history (can't make this stuff up!). The Dodgers were an awful 4-11 in IL play (2-10 during the just completed 17-day stretch) but celebrated their return to intraleague play by sweeping a three-game series up in San Francisco (Mon-Wed). The starting pitchers are Hiroki Kuroda and Edwin Jackson for tonight's game. Kuroda went 9-10 (3.73 ERA) as a rookie in 2008 and was named LA's Opening Day starter in 2009. However, he suffered an injury during a bullpen session in early April and was not able to rejoin the rotation until June 1st. Despite missing much of the season while battling numerous injuries, Kuroda made 20 starts in 2009 and finished with a 8-7 record and 3.76 ERA. He's 7-5 with a 3.27 ERA in 15 starts this season (team is 10-5). While the Dodgers are 6-2 in his home starts and 4-3 in his road starts, his road ERA (2.93) is better (3.55 home ERA). Edwin Jackson was once labeled a "can’t-miss" prospect in the Dodgers’ system. However, he never delivered and was traded in 2006 to the Rays. He had a awful 2007 season (5-15, 5.76 ERA / team was 8-23) but went 14-11 (4.22) when the team made the 2008 World Series. Still, he was traded to Detroit before last year and had strong first half (made All Star team), finishing 13-9 (3.62). He was traded in the off-season again, to Arizona. He got off to a very poor start, including a HORRIFIC six-start stretch (April 16-May 12) when he went 0-4 (team was 0-6). He allowed 10, eight and six ERs in THREE of those six games! However, he's 4-1 in his eight starts since May 17 (team is 5-3), including pitching a no-hitter in his last outing. As most know, it was an ODD performance, as he walked EIGHT batters (seven in the 1st three innings) and threw 149 pitches, the most in a MLB game in FIVE years! I realize that Jackson has shone vs his former clubs this year, posting a combined 1.05 ERA in outings at Dodger Stadium (June 2), Comerica Park (June 19) and Tropicana Field (June 25, site of his no-hitter). However, coming off that no-hitter, I expect him to struggle. Remember, his ERA is 4.63 in 16 starts this year, including 5.17 here at Chase Field! The Dodgers have beaten the D'backs SEVEN straight times and let's also note that LA is 21-5 vs NL West rivals in 2010, including winning 16 of their last 18!
