FYI: ...UNDERDOG PLAY OF THE WEEK, with its WRITE-UP, I released tonight.
**TOP RATED UNDERDOG PLAY OF THE WEEK ON:
ARIZONA +132
-Tonight Zona's Estes takes the hill and tries to improve his record to 2-1...and also getting Zona back to their recent winning ways...If anyone has shown the ability to dojust this vs any team, its Estes vs the Padres...In his last 22 career starts vs the Padres, Estes has a record of 13-4 with an 3.64 ERA....In fact, he hasnt lost to the Padres since 1999, when he was with SF....Also, from year 2000, he has gone 8-0 vs SD, with a ERA of 2.44, in 13 starts vs them...In Estes last start vs the Padres, he led his team to a 8-6 win...allowing just 3 runs, on 3 hits, in 7 innings on the hill...improving his current record vs the Padres to 9-0.....Domination!
Lawrence for the Padres takes the mound again tonight, where he has a current record of 1-3 with an ERA of 7.65, in his 4 starts....Vs the D-Backs in his career, he has a 4-4 record with a 3.51 ERA, in 12 starts vs them....And, in his last start against Estes and Zona, he got his ASS SPANKED lasting only 2 1/3 innings, allowing 6 runs, on 7 hits...
Some Stats, Trends, and Info favoring Zona tonight....
-Zona 12-8 vs RHP's.
-Zona 5-3 after a loss.
-Zona 7-3 playing against teams with losing recs.
-Zona 12-5 vs Div Opps.
-Zona 3-1 vs SD this year.
-SD 3-5 when the total is 8-8.5
-SD 1-2 in games played on Sat.
-SD 6-10 vs Div Opps.
-SD 3-5 vs LHP's
-SD 3-7 after a Win
-SD 3-6 vs teams with winning recs.
-SD is 1-3 on the year when Lawrence has started.
Zona doing it this year also with solid defensive play in the field...as they have only committed 8 fielding errors in 23 games played...SD, on the other hand, has committed twice as much with a total of 16 errors committed.
SD's BP, also has just record 3 saves on the year, along with 4 blown saves as well.(1 SV and 2 BS at Home)....Zona's BP, this year has recorded 12 total saves to 5 blown saves.(5 SV and 2 BS on Road).
Estes, in his last 3 starts is currently 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA in 19 innings on the hill, allowing 7 ERs and 13 hits....Lawrence, in his last 3 games, is 1-2 with a whopping 10.38 ERA...During this span of just 13 innings, Lawrence has given up 15 ERs, 22 hits, 2 HRs, and recorded just 4 strikeouts....and also lasting just an average of ONLY 4.3 innings..
Last nights game was the first time in 4 games that a Padre starter has lasted longer than a D-Back starter, as Peavy for SD went 8 innings and Webb going 6...In the other 3 games won by Zona their starters outlasted the Padres starters which all led to wins...Tonight this trend, should continue as I see Estes definately going deeper in the game than Lawrence...I also dont see any reason why Lawrence will be able to shut down this Zona lineup, especially as their Big Four in Counsell, Cintron, Gonzalez, and Glaus (leads the NL in HRs) all still hitting very well at the plate...
Padres snapped a two game losing streak, but that win was only their 2nd in 7 games...and the D-Backs first in their last 7....The D-Backs still hot right now...and with Estes past and present dominance continuing over the Padres, I am not going to buck it....The 32 year old lefty gets it done again tonight, improving his current win record, since 2000, vs the Padres to 10-0....Take the D-Backs +132 with Estes on the Hill, to get the Big Win for us tonight as my TOP RATED UNDERDOG GAME OF THE WEEK selection.....GL and ALOHA CC..
