Tough card .. like STL and AZ the best but not thrilled to select the best play (POD) .. thought 'bout parlaying AZ with something as a POD, but don't trust anything for sure today, C.C. and Haren not in form yet, so I landed on 1H AZ -1/2 (-130) as my POD .. love IAN KENNEDY, who in 8.0 IP at home vs Pittsburgh LY allowed them zero runs on one hit w/ 12 K's and 1 walk, but Karstens can pitch a little and in 13 IP against the Snakes LY, he only allowed them 1 run, so Kennedy is going to have to be at his very best, and AZ is going to have to nick Karstens for an early run or two. IAN goes for his third straight win TY and is (8-0) w/ 1.91 ERA in his L9 starts. He was fourth in the CY voting LY w/ a (21-4) record and a 2.88 ERA in 2011. He is (1-0) w/ 0.64 ERA, 0.57 WHIP, & .128 BAA vs the Pirates and will try to continue his home success, in which he is (9-0) w/ 1.88 ERA in his L12 outings at Chase Field. Pittsburgh is (1-6) on the Road and Arizona is (4-0) at Home.
