Schule's MLB Friday Night Fistful of Dollar$
(MLB) Arizona vs. San Diego, 06/26/2015 6:10 PM, Score: 2 - 4
Total: 6.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on ARI@SD to go OVER the total.


San Diego's PETCO‬ Park has a reputation as a pitcher's park, and prior to this year there have been fewer runs scored at San Diego than in any other park in the majors since 2012. That trend has turned upside down here in 2015, with ‪ESPN‬'s Park Factor showing PETCO ranking as more of a hitter's park so far. Still we see another astronomically low total for tonight's game, and my money is on this over trend to continue here with an improved San Diego offense getting a crack at a struggling Arizona pitcher.

Robbie Ray will toe the slab for Arizona, and he's off to a good start in his rookie campaign. Ray (2-2, 1.78 ERA) he allowed four runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Padres his last time out. It was by far his worst outing of the season, and he'll have to face the same San Diego team here tonight. Matt Kemp was 2-for-5 in that game, and he was 2-for-4 with a home run last night in San Francisco.

The Padres hand the ball to Tyson Ross, who was brilliant in the win over Arizona opposite Ray last week. Ross (4-7, 3.61 ERA) went the distance, allowing one run on four hits while striking out nine. He hasn't had as much luck at home, where he is 2-4 with a 4.76 ERA in six starts.

Paul Goldschmidt is batting a major league best .354 with 20 home runs and 60 RBIs, and he's hitting .350 with a pair of home runs and four RBIs lifetime versus Ross.

Take OVER.
