You can tell the team's pitching has settled down, and the bats have picked up. I would highly advice betting against ARI over the next few weeks
2 games under .500 in a weak div... arizona is winning the west, it doesn't take a genious to see the flaws in LAD and SF...same situation as last year, dbacks started badly, got better and better as the season progressed.
HELP___--- Where are MLB futures available right now?
cant see them beating out a giants team with an actual offense now, and already the best rotation in the NL (sorry phillies). not to mention the dodgers with their .600 winning percentage without matt kemp in the lineup
Dbacks overproduced last year. Don't expect it again. The bullpen isn't as good as it was last year. They have already blown a bunch of games. Tat man hitting a walk off against gas can Fuentes doesn't change that. Local sports radio talking about how important it is to sweep the A's. Really? 57 games into the season and a sweep is necessary against one of the worst AL teams? They should have lost tonight and I had them dropping 2 out of 3 in this series. They could easily lose all 6 against the Rangers and Angels coming up.
Hudson isn't at the same level, neither is Kennedy. Upton seems like a head case and comes off as apathetic. The management called out Upton and he got benched. They are making a big deal of it here. I don't think he responds well to that. They will be a .500 ball club. Even without Lincecum, the Dodgers pitching staff and pen are heads and tails above the Snakes.
im on them on the -1RL so im glad as hell montero hit that bomb. however i still think they wont contend this year, last year despite the slow start the giants were their only competition, and they faded quickly. this year theyre going to have to get in front of the giants as well as the dodgers. its going to take a boston red sox-esque collapse for them to win it. my book currently has even the mets and the pirates favoured over the d-backs to win the NLCS.
