Result: Win
This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Arizona Diamondbacks.
We're calling these hard-hitting line-ups a "wash," but we think that Jose Quintana is getting way too much respect in this matchup.
Zack Greinke: He's 13-4 with a 2.84 ERA. Greinke gave up one run off four hits and a walk while stirking out nine over seven innings in a victory over the Cardinals on Saturday. Greinke comes in on fire, having posted four quality starts out of his last five outings.
Quintana: He's 6-9 with a 4.16 ERA. Quintana most recently gave up two runs off four hits over six innings in a 2-1 loss to Milwaukee on Friday. Quintana has posted a 2.37 ERA since becoming a Cub, but has consistently been inconsistent in this position all year, going just 3-6 with a poor 5.03 ERA in all "day" games.
The bottom line: Note that Arizona is 17-16 (+1.6 units) in all day games this year, while Chicago is 24-24 (-13 units) in all day contests. We like Greinke to outduel Quintana and in a scenario like that, we believe the value swings to the underdog. Play on the DIAMONDBACKS.
