Tuesday MLB Bet of the Day: Greinke, Eickhoff square off again

Arizona is 12-4 behind Zack Greinke this season....all 4 losses at home.

LAS VEGAS -- There's no place like home, unless you're the Diamondbacks, who have posted a 13-26 mark at Chase Field, including last night's 8-0 lackluster loss to the Phillies. But tonight the odds are in Arizona's favor to buck the trend as Zack Greinke (10-3, 3.61 ERA) is a -180 favorite against Jerad Eickhoff (5-9, 3.36) in the second of a three-game set.

Arizona (36-43, -5.59 units of profit) had just just come off a 10-game road trip where they posted franchise best 7-3 record boosting them to a 23-17 road mark. Four of those wins came in a sweep at Philadelphia, including a 4-1 Greinke win 10 days ago against Eickhoff. It was Greinke's seventh straight win and in his next start Thursday at Coors Field, he got a no-decision in the Diamondbacks 8-7 win.

During Arizona's eight game win streak behind Greinke, he has a 2.18 ERA and opponents are hitting just .191 against him with a .224 on-base percentage. However, the home and away disparity exists with Greinke as well who is 5-3 with a 5.06 ERA at home and is 5-0 with a 1.85 ERA on the road. Arizona is 12-4 behind Greinke this season with all four losses coming at Chase Field.

Cubs favored to win 2016 World Series; Diamondbacks respected by Vegas

Sensational race and sports book design at Green Valley Ranch.

LAS VEGAS -- The four-day MLB Winter Meetings from Opryland in Nashville have come and gone. Thursday was the final day of the sessions, during which baseball executives mingle with each other, create relationships and try to improve their teams via trades. The agents for 134 free agents negotiated to get their clients the biggest payday, or in some cases, just put in the best situation.

Las Vegas sports books have been keeping their eyes on the happenings in order to adjust team ratings and futures odds. There aren’t any games posted for wagering yet, but betting on the World Series and pennants has been open at most books since the end of October.

“We’re just watching the wire and looking at each team on a case-by-case basis,” said Station Casinos sports book director Jason McCormick of his staff‘s routine during the meetings.

“David Price (Red Sox) and Zack Greinke (Diamondbacks) were the major players requiring adjustments to both the team they left for and arrived from.”
