Also, Rodriguez has been one of the best pitchers in baseball with a 2.50 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 162 innings. Rodriguez has allowed 32 hits and 9 earned runs in his last 39.1 innings. The Diamondbacks are 8-1 in Rodriguez’s last 9 games. I want that on my side. Give me the Diamondbacks and the more favorable price on Tuesday night.
