1* free play on the Arizona D'Backs +1.5...
The Arizona Diamondbacks are hot, coming into tonight's game in Los Angeles off four straight road wins. They are an enormous underdog here in Anaheim, and given the Angels recent struggles, I think the price here looks a little inflated.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - Garrett Richards will get the nod for the home team, and he's coming off a win in his last start. Richards (6-4, 3.97 ERA) gave up just two runs on four hits in seven frames in a win at Tampa. His numbers aren't bad, but perhaps not consistent enough to command such a high price. The D'Backs counter with Jeremy Hellickson, who owns a record of 4-1 over his last 10 starts.
2. Paul Goldschmidt - The Arizona slugger is batting a major league best .366 with 18 home runs and 53 RBIs. He was 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs last night.
3. X-Factor - The Angels have just four wins in their last 12 games, and two of those four victories came in games decided by just one run.
