6 OUT OF 10 CONSENSUS on the Diamondbacks.

We are all contrarian at heart here over at The Insiders Room, however we still like Arizona in this spot. The Diamondbacks have performed well in this spot for bettors, going 4-1 in their last five after three straight losses. They lost the first two games of this series, which is also significant to note here, as Arizona is 8-4 in its last 12 in trying to avenge two or more straight losses against an opponent. Tanner Houck has been pedestrian for the Sox this year, as he's just 3-3 with a 4.99 ERA. Merrill Kelly has once again led the way for the D-Backs this year, he enters 5-3 with a 2.98 ERA. With a day off before a home series vs. the Reds, we expect the Red Sox to get caught flat-footed here. Lay the short price, the play is Arizona.

Good luck, TIR
