This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the Arizona Diamondbacks.
We think that the home field advantage will prove to be the difference maker for Diamondbacks' ace Zack Greinke.
Collin McHugh: He's 0-1 with a 5.32 ERA. McHugh most recently gave up seven runs off nine hits and three walks over 5.1 innings in a loss to the White Sox on Wednesday. This was his worst outing since returning from the DL (note that he's 0-1 with a ballooned 6.75 ERA on the road thus far.)
Greinke: He's 13-5 with a 3.14 ERA. Greinke most recently gave up three runs off four hits over 6.2 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday, also going on to strike out eight. Greinke had previously been rocked for six runs off the Cubs, so this was a nice bounce back effort. He'll have to be feeling confident here as well as he's 10-1 with a tiny 2.52 ERA at home this year.
The bottom line: For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching and when trying to properly assess starting pitching, "recent performance" is often the best tool we have to do that. Recent form displayed by these starting pitchers suggests that McHugh has another long night in store for him Monday. Play on the DIAMONDBACKS.
