This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

We think that Patrick Corbin and the hard-hitting visiting side could/should easily be much larger favorites. Corbin (7-4, 3.13 ERA) most recently went seven innings and gave up one run with no walks and nine strikeouts over the Cubs on Monday. He'd go on to throw 70 of his 98 pitches for strikes and he's now posted a 3.53 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 10.4 K/9 over his last 15 trips to the mound. The home side sends Tyson Ross (6-8, 4.29) to the hill and he most recently gave up two runs off five hits with three walks over five innings in a win over Philadelphia last weekend. Ross has been hit or miss in July; note that he's just 3-3 with a 4.53 ERA at home this season. Note that Arizona is 41-28 (+11.3 units) in all "night" contests this year, while San Diego is 29-45 (-7.9 units) in all "night" contests. We like Corbin to build off his last start and find a way to deliver the goods once the smoke clears at the end of the night. Lay the price, play on the DIAMONDBACKS.
