When Dan Haren is healthy, he is certainly one of the top pitchers in baseball. But, when you pitch behind a lineup that produces the second-fewest runs on the road in baseball at 3.7 per game, you almost have to be perfect. There aren't too many teams you can pitch for where you turn in a 2.09 ERA after eight starts, yet see your team finish at 3-5 in those games. Outside of an easy 7-2 decision vs. the Cubs, the Diamondbacks have been outscored by five runs in his other seven starts. Oakland has done a reasonably good job at home. Matt Holliday is also heating up as he’s hitting .424 in his last seven games, and has given Haren fits as he's also 4 for 8 with two homers against Haren, and has a .351 batting average with five homers and 15 RBIs in his last 19 games against Arizona. I'll go with Oakland here.

3 units on Oakland +1.5 runs -120 (runline) (risk 3 to return 3)
