ScLiveDogs Saturday MLB LiveDog of the Day...

Why we like the Diamondbacks tonight at +131...the DBacks are rolling right now winning their last 6 of 7 games while averaging 5.9 rpg and allowing 2.7 rpg during this period. On the other side, the Phillies have lost their last 5 of 7 games while averaging 2.4 rpg and allowing 3.3 rpg during this period. When we take a look at this pitching matchup we have a similar type matchup with the slight edge going to Joe Saunders who has been pitching well all year on the road. Saunders comes in with a 2.44 road era where he has not allowed more than 3 runs in a game all year on the road. Saunders has also been pitching well as of late where he has allowed 15 hits through his last 20 innings on 19 K's and 7 BBs. Saunders last road start came on July 19th IN Cincinnati where he allowed just 3 runs through 6 innings on just 4 hits. This is a Phillies lineup that has a combined 68 ABs off of Saunders with a .235 average. The Phillies will be pitching Roy Halladay who we faded last start and was profitable with a plus money win. Tonight, Halladay will be at home where he has posted a 4.27 home era this year and has allowed a combined 11 runs through his last 12 innings at home on 17 hits and 3 HRs. This Diamondbacks lineup has a combined 88 ABs off of Halladay with a .250 average. This Phillies team has lost their last 2 games against LHP and on the season, they average just 3.3 rpg with a .232 average. In a game that could come down to the bullpens, the edge goes to Arizona with their 2.51 road era compared to the Phillies home era of 4.18. A few trends to consider are that the Phillies are 4-13 on Saturdays and are 12-22 against LHP. We will play on the Diamondbacks at +131.
