Zach Duke has been pounded over his last 5 starts as he has given up 30 earned runs working 24 1/3rd innings. Teams aren’t getting fooled by this lefthander as opposing hitters bat .336 against him when Duke has pitched on the road. Brandon Webb has pitched great over his past 5 starts giving up just 7 earned runs in 36 innings of work. Pittsburgh is going nowhere and the D’backs are in a pennant race and must win games like these against bottom tier clubs now that Manny Ramirez is with the Dodgers. Webb bears down and the Arizona Diamondbacks will win comfortably so go ahead and play the D’backs on the runline laying a run and a half to improve your payout.
