10* DIAMONDBACKS RUNLINE (IL RL GOM)

Arizona has lost the first 2 games of this series by identical 4-3 scores and in another contest that I see being decided late, or in extras, I'm going to lay what I feel to be a very reasonable mid-sized price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. The bottom line here is that I really like Arizona's Merrill Kelly and I expect him to finish up the first half strong. Kelly is 8-5 with a 3.36 ERA, while San Diego's Mike Clevinger is 2-2 with a 3.79 ERA. Clevinger has been an absolute "gas can" over his last two starts, allowing 4 runs over 5 innings in his last outing. Kelly conceded 2 runs over 7 innings in a 4-3 win over the Giants in his last outing. Look for the "recent form" of Kelly to be the difference-maker here, but the official call will be to grab the D-Backs on the runline option!
