#961 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* St Louis Cardinals +100 over Arizona Diamondbacks, Thursday at 9:40 PM ET - The Diamondbacks jumped out to a 4-0 lead against the Giants yesterday and still found a way to blow the game and lose their 10th straight! Arizona lost 5-4 and now will have their hands full with facing a tough pitcher in this spot. Carlos Martinez came back from a short stint out with an injury and looked like he was back in top form. Martinez is a high-caliber pitcher when healthy and he allowed just 2 earned runs in 6 innings in his most recent start. Martinez has allowed 2 or less earned runs in 4 of his last 5 starts! The only troublesome start was the one right before his stint on the DL. In other words, he has been in strong form for quite some time now. The Cardinals, currently the top team in the standings in the Central Division, certainly have the overall team edge here over a Diamondbacks team occupying the basement in the West. Additionally they have the pitching edge with Martinez over the rookie Matt Peacock. The Arizona right-hander has particularly struggled at Chase Field. At home this season, Peacock has a 9.28 ERA in 6 games (1 start). Peacock has allowed 4 homers in less than 11 innings at Chase Field. Martinez has allowed only 1 homer in 24 innings on the road this season. The price here, per our computer math model, could absolutely be much higher than the opening range of -120 as of early Thursday morning. That being said, we'll take the extra value as the line moved to a +100 as of late morning Thursday! This one will be all Cardinals per our computer math model. We will grab the road team with a strong pitching edge on the mound at a great "no juice" price on the money line in this one and bet ST LOUIS +100
