THE BOBBER

Game: Arizona Diamondbacks @ Kansas City Royals
Play: Arizona Diamondbacks (-120) ML
Analysis: Quality young starter Ian Kennedy takes the mound tonight for the Arizona Diamondbacks against the older, less productive Jeff Francis. Arizona has overtaken first place in the National League West by going 6-4 in their last ten games, and are coming off a win yesterday against the Royals. Kansas City represents the opposite end of the spectrum, sitting in last place of their division while going 4-6 over the last 10 games, including the current three game skid they are currently experiencing. Jeff Francis has been absolutely dreadful against this projected Arizona lineup, as they have scorched him for a .374 batting average and 16 RBI’s in 91 at-bats; this calculates out to an ERA of 5.80 for Francis. Furthermore, Francis has ERA’s this season of 3.35 at home, 4.53 at night, and 6.48 in June. Over the past three seasons, Francis tallied a 5.03 ERA at home, 5.19 ERA at night, and 5.22 ERA in June. In that same time frame, he has gone 0-4 in five starts against Arizona, recording a paltry 9.12 ERA. In two starts at home against Arizona, Francis was 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA. Ian Kennedy, on the other hand, has been on an absolute tear this season, going 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA on the road, 6-2 with a 3.12 ERA at night, and 1-0 with a 2.35 ERA in June. Kennedy has faced only four KC hitters in the past, who are a combined 2-12 with no RBI’s. This match-up bodes well for Arizona, and with the line at a surprisingly low -120, Bobber recommends a strong play on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Wednesday's Action

30 Dime baseball selection on the Indians as a home favorite against the Rockies in interleague action. At the time I release this winner, Cleveland is a -125 favorite across the board both here in Vegas and offshore. Note that you must list starting pitochers in this game, so both the Indians’ Josh Tomlin and the Rockies’ Jason Hammel must start or this play is VOID!

10 Dime baseball selection on the Twins as a road undordog against the Giants in interleague action. At the time I release this winner, Minnesota is a +130 underdog across the board both here in Vegas and offshore. Note that you must list Nick Blackburn as Minnesota’s starting pitcher. If Blackburn doesn’t go, this play is VOID!

MARC LAWRENCE

3* Arizona Diamondbacks (-115)

When the Diamondbacks send Ian Kennedy to the mound in Kansas City against Jeff Francis and the Royals Wednesday evening Arizona will do so knowing Kennedy is 5-1 with a 2.40 ERA in his road starts this season. He's also in great KW form with five walks and 22 strikeouts his last three starts and 1-0 in his career team start against KC. On the other side of the coin, Francis is in spotty KW form with five walks and four strikeouts in his last three starts. With Francis 1-4 with a 9.72 ERA in his last five starts against the Rattlesnakes, look for the Diamondbacks to put the bite on the Royals here tonight. We recommend a 3-unit play on Arizona.
