This is an 8* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

It's a difficult task throwing at Coors Field for any pitcher. All things being equal though, this a major mismatch on the mound today and we're not going to have any issues in laying the price. Zack Greinke (10-3, 3.54 ERA) is dominating, he's coming off his seventh straight win, going eight innings and giving up three hits in a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia on Saturday. He'd need just 94 pitches to get through the very effecient outing and he'd go on to notch first pitch strikes on 21 of 28 hittings and induced 18 swinging strikes overall. Greinke has been particularly dominant on the road as well, going 5-0 with a tiny 1.47 ERA thus far. The home side counters with Eddie Butler (2-4, 6.26) who returns from the bullpen to fill a void in the rotation. Butler has poor strikeout numbers and an atrocious 9.37 ERA in front of the home town crowd. Greinke would have been a much bigger fav in this exact position a year ago. The value today is on the visitors, play on ARIZONA.
