Ian Kennedy (2-3 4.88 ERA) goes for the Diamondbacks tonight and in his last start he gave up 3 earned runs in 5 innings in a win over the Atlanta Braves.
Jhoulys Chacin (3-3 4.07) was shelled in his last outing giving up 8 earned runs in only 5 innings in a loss to the San Francisco Giants.[dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
These 2 pitchers already faced each other earlier this season in Colorado and while both pitchers had good starts Chacin got the win. However, in 3 starts since coming off the DL with a back injury he is 0-3 with an ERA of 7.79.
Chacin has gone 4-2 with a 2.50 ERA in 10 starts against the Diamondbacks.
Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has struggled against Chacin in his last 2 games facing him, but he is riding a 7-game hitting streak and in that span is batting .488. He ranks 2nd in the NL in HR and 3rd in RBI.
Arizona has been getting great pitching lately and they will need it tonight facing a Rockies’ offense that ranks 1st in runs, 4th in team batting average, and 7th in on base percentage.
In some betting trends for this National League West match up the Diamondbacks are 6-1 in their last 7 road games, 11-5 in Kennedy’s last 16 starts, and they have an Under record of 9-2-1 in their last 12 games.
The Rockies are 2-5 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter, 11-26 in Chacin’s last 37 starts, and they have an Over record of 7-2 in their last 9 games.
In the last 5 games between these 2 teams in Colorado the total has gone Under every time.
Jason’s Pick: I think Chacin will struggle again and the Diamondbacks will take the 2nd game of this 3 games series tonight.
