    Diamondbacks -134 on the ML

    Making this my play of the day. The Dbacks will get to Scott Olsen and Saunders will pitch well enough to get the win. I love the bounce back after a loss play upon returning home. Although the sample size is small and the history not very relevant Olsen has always struggled versus the Dbacks. I expect Arizona to win the game by at least 2 runs.

    Good luck... scares me backing a team with Saunders on the hill so I'm passing on the game altogether.

    I know you don't cap using stats but the D-Bags record against lefties doesn't scare you?

    Good luck LB! Hard for me to play them after the crap they dished out last night. I'll look into it though. Thanks

    Two notes in the Dbacks favor:

    "Olsen certainly hasn't enjoyed his previous visits to Chase Field, going 0-2 with an 11.30 ERA in three road games versus Arizona."

    "Washington, which has won six of seven against Arizona, is hitting .193 (16 for 83) versus left-handers in its last six games."

    I actually like this play a lot. This is Olsen's second start since May 21. He pitched a solid game his first start back but that was vs the Braves slumping offense and at home. And he only had 1 K in 6 innings, so he was a bit lucky on balls in play. Dbacks at home should be able to put up some runs.

    I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that you don't actually watch baseball, LB. Because if you did, you would:

    A) Never bet on the D'Bags, and
    B) Never bet on a D'Bags/Nats game period.

    Waste of time and energy. Arizona might be in complete control for 7-8 innings, only to see their pathetic bullpen implode and burn your money to a crisp.

    Okay thanks no coin. I guess I will consider buying it back later on. Maybe you shouldn't watch the games either so you don't have to see teams like these burn money away. Any team can blow a late lead. Happens every day with different teams everytime.

    Good luck I played this as well. Nice call on Brewers last night too. I like Brewers Over 9.5 today in that game.

    I'm just sayin', LB. In theory, I totally agree with this play. Saunders can be very solid at times and Washington is pitiful on the road. And yes, any team can blow a late lead.

    Look at Arizona's bullpen #'s and their record vs. lefties, though. There are better games and better teams to consider tonight as far as I'm concerned, but if you're that confident in this pick, I wish you nothing but the best -- you know that. IMHO, this is like betting on a T'Wolves/Clippers game.

    Man you really carried me through the NBA this year but NEVER make your "play of the day" on a game involving the Arizona Diamondbacks. And Olsen isn't as bad as you think. He's better than Saunders.

    Why did the Rays pick him up?

    Qualls has never recorded an OUT.

    Maybe think about going first 5 innings. I would hate to see that bullpen blow it for you.
