Considering Scherzer has thrown 5 more innings and given up 22 fewer runs than De La Rosa (vs the home and away starts) I’m thinking about making a play on the Dbacks 1st 5 innings, cause I really can’t trust the Dbacks pen much like I can’t believe I’m trusting their offense…..hopefully the offense can scratch across a few runs against a pitcher who is more than capable of giving them up and Scherzer continues to throw as well as he has on the road.
