Diamondbacks Even at Pirates
The Diamondbacks are on a little bit of a hot streak, as are a handful of their regulars. They are definitely a better team then they’ve shown this year and they might just be putting it together now, although it’s obviously too little, too late. The Pirates are not a good team and are 2-8 in their last 10. The have Ross Ohlendorf pitching tonight. Ross is a pretty decent young pitcher, but he’s come into some control issues all of a sudden and has not been striking out as many batters as he did earlier in the season. I’m thinking he might be running through a tired arm period and that is not good going up against the streaking D-Backs.
Doug Davis goes for the Diamondbacks today and he is… Doug Davis. He’s going to pitch late into the game. He’s going to give up a few runs and a homerun or two. But he’s going to give you a chance to win if you can score some runs. That’s where Mark Reynolds, Justin Upton, Stephen Drew and Miguel Montero come in. They are all hot at the same time. Take the Diamondback at Even Money or a very slight underdog in this one.
