Sport: MLBPick Selection: Arizona Diamondbacks
Listing: Maddux vs. Haren
Maddux gets the nod tonight and has a chance to grab his 350th career win - we don't see that happening. He is is only 2-10 with a 4.88 ERA in 18 starts against Arizona. He?s been even worse at Chase Field, going 1-6 with a 5.37 ERA in 11 starts. The Padres used six relievers over 14 innings of a 2-1, 22-inning loss last night which tells us that their pen is vulnerable tonight.
Haren gets the start for the D-Backs and he has won his last two starts by allowing four runs?two earned?with 12 strikeouts in 12 innings. He was terrific Saturday, limiting the Rockies to one run and five hits while fanning seven in six innings of a 10-3 win on Saturday. His lifetime ERA vs. SD is 1.69.
Arizona leads the league in runs scored with 93 and 24 homers and given the marathon that the Padres experienced last night, we expect them to add to those totals tonight. We are taking Arizona.
