ARIZONA @ PITTSBURGH (ARI -135, 8.5)
DIAMONDBACKS F5 ML
The Pirates did play well enough to win yesterday, but ultimately lost in extra innings, 1-0. That's what happens when you manage just one hit in 11 innings. Expect more of the same today as Merrill Kelly takes the mound for the DBacks.
Kelly is 9-5 with a 3.32 ERA this season. He has allowed 3 earned runs or less in 14 of his 21 starts this season. Arizona won each of his last two starts and he gave up 2 earned runs or less in each game.
Pittsburgh will start Andrew Heaney and he's been dreadful as of late. For the season, Heaney is 4-9 with a 5.03 ERA. He has given up 20 dingers in 102 innings, including 6 over his last 3 starts. Over his last 6 starts, Heaney has allowed 7 earned runs 3 times and he does have a start against the Diamondbacks this season. He allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings.
Arizona is one of the better F5 teams in baseball. We've mentioned it numerous times this year. The DBacks are 54-38-11 on the F5 moneyline overall, 23-19-7 on the road. Arizona is No. 2 in MLB in slugging, No. 5 in home runs, and fifth in scoring. The Pirates continue to be the worst scoring team in MLB at 3.40 runs per game.
