9 OUT OF 10 CONSENSUS on the D-Backs runline.

Two really good teams here, but Arizona has been red hot and we're expecting that momentum to get carried over in the opener of this interesting three-game series. Arizona has won five straight after taking all four from Colorado over the weekend. Atlanta avoided a sweep on Wednesday with a 4-2 win over lowly Oakland. For arguments sakes, let's call these starters a "wash:" Charlie Morton is 5-5 with a 3.59 ERA for the Braves, while Merrill Kelly is 6-3 with a 2.83 ERA for the Diamondbacks. Note though that Arizona is 7-2 in its last nine as a home dog in the +101 to +115 range. We're bypassing the moneyline though and instead laying the reasonable price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. Lay the price, the play ARIZONA on the RUNLINE option.

Good luck, TIR
