This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Two wily veterans square off in this one, but home field advantage will prove to be the difference maker for Zack Greinke in our opinion. The visitors hand the ball to Madison Bumgarner (3-4, 3.06 ERA) who gave up three runs off six hits over eight innings in a loss to the Brewers on Friday. Previous to that though he'd been blasted by the A's and exited only after four frames. Bumgarner has been solid overall this season, but note that he's 3-2 with a 2.01 ERA at home, compared to 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA on the road. Greinke (12-5, 2.96) gave up one run off six hits over seven innings while striking out six in a win over San Diego on Friday. Greinke comes into this one sporting the tremendous 143:24 K:BB and note that he's been awesome at one with a 5-1, 2.39 ERA record so far. Note as well that San Fran is just 32-38 (-4.9 units) this year in all "night" contests, while Arizona is 44-29 (+12.3 units) in all "night" contests. Lay the price with confidence, play on the DIAMONDBACKS.
