UNDER 7.5 Arizona Diamondbacks/Philadelphia Phillies:
An absolutely brilliant pitching matchup tonight at Citizens Bank Park between Danny Haren and Cliff Lee. Two of the elite pitchers in all of Baseball should provide a very low scoring affair tonight in Philadelphia.

Haren (12-7, 2.50) has been a very bright light in a dark season in the desert. If not for him, Arizona might be the worst team in Baseball, as the pitching staff behind him has been awful. Haren was his usual brilliant self last time out as he pitched 8 innings, allwoing 1 run on 6 hits in a win over the first place Dodgers.

Lee (3-0, 1.13) has been nearly unhittable since being traded to Philadelphia from Cleveland. Nothing like going from last place to first place on one plane ride! He’s only allowed 3 earned runs since the trade, and has not only won, but dominated all three of his National League starts. Overall, he’s 5-0 in his last 5 starts, with a 1.35 ERA. Those numbers combine his last 2 American League efforts as well.
