Working Friday MLB

Working the numbers at MLB take a look at Diamondbacks at Giants.
First Giants home factor AT&T Park which has been very productive.
(Run Scored +Runs Allowed at Home)/(Home Games)/
(Runs Scored + Runs Allowed on Road)/(Road Games)
SFG ranks 4th.
Second the pitching. ARZ, Miguel Batista, 2-0, 5.16 ERA, 1.68 WHIP.
His last outing against the Dodgers Nomar Garciapara's 1st inning line drive hit him in the shin. He ended leaving the game 5 innings later with stiffining shin. He faced the Giants 4/17 in Arizona and was drilled early lasting only 4 innings with 11 hits 7 runs 6 earned.
There are 2 Giants (Bonds and Wynn) with high OPS against Miguel.
Relief pitchers.
Used 4/26 (*4/27 no game) Luis Vizcaino 1.64 ERA, Brandon Lyon 0.93 ERA, Jose Valverde 3.24 ERA (S)Bull pen was perfect in low scoring road win against San Diego.
Used 4/25 Brandon Medders 10.80 ERA,Greg Aquino 4.32 ERA
Used 4/24 Jose Valverde (S. W)
Used 4/23 Grimsley 5.87 ERA, Cruz 3.00 ERA, Lyon 1.04 ERA

SFG, Jason Schmidt, 0-2, 5.33 ERA, 1.44 WHIP
His last outing against the Rockies in Denver 7 innings, 5 runs all earned
hit him early and often in a slug fest Rockies win in 9th inning rally.
4/15 against the Dodgers in LA loss, 6 innings, 6 hits, 2 runs earned with notable 7 walks throwing 114 pitches.
There are 2 Diamondbacks (Shawn Green and Chad Tracy) with high OPS against Jason.
Relief pitchers.
Used 4/26 (*4/27 no game) Fassero 6.97 ERA, Kline 5.14 ERA, Worrell 7.84 ERA, Benitez 0.00 ERA, Munter 5.59 ERA.
Used 4/25 Accardo 5.40 ERA
Used 4/24 Worrell 7.45 ERA, Munter 4.15 ERA.
Used 4/23 Correia 4.15 ERA, Wilson 0.00 ERA, Fassero 7.20 ERA

Momentum goes to Diamondbacks.
Giants are lacking stability at this point and to shoulder this game on Jason is too much. Arizona have shown to win on the road. If Batista can keep the game in striking range the late inning should prove to be in Diamondback's favor.
Take the Road Dog. ARZ +133 for 1 unit(L)

------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not going to write all the details for CWS at LAA.
In a nut shell Garcia will out pitch Weaver, but when the bull pen comes in it'll be a different game. Angels pen is the strength.

CWS First 5 innings -112 for 1 unit(W)
Made this game sound like it was going to be pitchers dual, anything but.
Should of taken the Over too. Never did trust Weaver although he has some of the best pitches in baseball, killer side arm he'll drop on you anytime, but his wheels tend to come off during games. Freddy G. is just getting up in age he's not going to give you the high heater in the mid 90's any more, but he has experience to get the batters out.

I guess all the details couldn't of helped the Diamondbacks.
Getting "Even" again.
1-1 even
