The Arizona Diamondbacks have surprised early at 5-1. On the other hand, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are considered to be a team on the come, have disappointed at 1-5. That usually extends value to the dog here as these teams are polar opposites of expectations. The lone Pirate win came with Wandy Rodriquez on the mound as he went 6.2 innings allowing just two hits, no runs and is a top of the rotation pitcher. Rodriquez has long been a fast starter as he owns an April ERA of 2.86. Ironically the only Arizona loss came with Trevor Cahill on the mound. The D-backs have had issues vs. lefthanded pitching and are 0-4 going back to the end of last year against them. Play on Pittsburgh.
