MLB Premium Play 08/20: Arizona Diamondbacks @ Cincinnati Reds

MLB - 957 Arizona Diamondbacks @ 958 Cincinnati Reds

(Starting Pitchers: P. Corbin vs T. Cingrani)

We will have on this game two excellent young pitchers, who are quite similar and on a similar form right now as well. Tony Cingrani will start for the Reds and he is coming from a nice win at Milwaukee, where he had a 9/1 K/BB ratio. He had also impressed against San Diego, but he has an issue with high P/IP ratios that prevents him from going deep into the games.  

On the other side, Patrick Corbin will start for the Dbacks and he has been pitching very well lately. He has an impressive 27.7% and 20.0% K%% over the last two months and he is coming to tonight's game will similar numbers to Cingrani's. The key in here is that Arizona's offense is much better in hitting against LH pitchers than Cincinnati's lineup. This is why that Arizona is hitting .284 BA against LH pitchers over their last 10 games, while Cincinnati is just hitting .182 BA! Therefore, I expect a close game and so, I'll take Arizona in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 957 Arizona Diamondbacks RL +1 (w/ P. Corbin) @ -119 / 1.84 on 5Dimes
