10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE (WON BIG 4 OF L5 CARDS OVERALL!)
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Arizona, 05/28/2021 9:40 PM, Score: 8 - 6
Money Line: -129.00 Arizona (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: I love Madison Bumgarner (4-4, 4.53 ERA) to help his team break its horrible 11-game slide today with a win over Johan Oviedo and the visiting Cardinals on Friday night. Oviedo has just been called up from Triple-A Memphis to make this start. Over 15.2 innings of work in the big leagues this year he has an poor 13/9 K/W.

The pick: Bumgarner is coming off an outing to forget in which he allowed seven runs over six innings. He only allowed one earned run over the first five innings, but he came apart in the sixth vs. the Rockies. Note though that Bumgarner has been at his best at home this season, going 2-1 with a 3.89 ERA. I'm banking on Arizona breaking the slide.

This is a 10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE on the Diamondbacks.
