MLB - 901 Arizona Diamondbacks @ 902 Washington Nationals
(Starting Pitchers: W. Miley vs J. Zimmermann)
Washington will have a huge mismatch on SP favoring them in here. Wade Miley may have started the season well, but he has been struggling lately, while being homerun prone, with 1, 2, 1, 0 and 3 homeruns allowed on his last five starts. His strikeout numbers also don't impress me and he is really struggling right now. I believe he is on a clear fade spot in here, as he is coming for tonight's game with just 4 days of rest and with 105 pitches thrown on his last start. The last two times he threw +100 pitchers on a game, he allowed five runs against Atlanta and three runs against St Louis on the following outings.
On the other hand, Washington is starting Jordan Zimmermann on 5 days rest. He is coming from a great bounce back outing against Colorado, as he allowed just one run to the Rockies (9/1 K/BB ratio), after struggling at Cleveland. He had three good starts against Arizona in 2011 and with Miley getting pounded today, I believe Zimmermann will also do a good job in here, allowing the Nationals to pick up an easy win tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 902 Washington Nationals RL -1 (w/ J. Zimmermann) @ -107 / 1.94 on 5Dimes
