Analysis
I'm playing ARIZONA on the run-line (+1.5 runs) I won with the Marlins in the opener of this series. Miami would follow up that 9-3 victory with an 8-0 win yesterday. Now in danger of falling below the .500 mark, this was clearly not what the Diamondbacks had in mind. They should feel good about their chances of avoiding the sweep, with a rejuvenated Madison Bumgarner on the mound. Bumgarner is 3-0 with a dominant 1.06 ERA and 0.471 WHIP his last three. Arizona won by scores of 5-2, 7-0 and 7-2. While I do like Arizona's chances of winning outright, I'm electing to grab the extra +1.5 runs as Lopez has also been very stingy. Two of his last three starts were losses with scores of 1-0 and 2-1. Given the current form of both starters, this could well be another close one. Facing a Miami team which tends to struggle against southpaws, look for the Dbax to bounce back with AT LEAST a "run-line cover."
