Day 40 Pick: Diamondbacks, Hudson -172

Today is one of those days where a bet doesn't really jump off of the page.  The bet that I actually liked the most was San Francisco with Cain on the mound.  However, I don't usually like betting on the Giants.  For some reason, I something always goes wrong when betting on teams that I actually like.  I'm already invested enough emotionally in the games that adding this extra factor usually fucks with it.  I can't remember the last time I bet on a Bay Area team and actually won.  Also, the Giants are going up against Shaun Marcum, who I own on both of my fantasy teams.  I cant bet against my own guys...it just doesn't feel right. 

So, today, I've decided to go with one of my other fantasy pitchers that is taking the mound today.

At -172, Daniel Hudson isn't exactly a steal.  It is not like the Diamondbacks are that sure of a thing offensively to keep Arizona afloat if Hudson falters in the slightest way.  With that said, Hudson has pitched masterfully his past 5 outings, collecting a 2-0 record while only surrendering a 3.55 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP in those starts.  (OK maybe Im overselling that "masterfully" just a bit) 

The Rockies are actually riding a two-game winning streak, while Arizona is riding a two game streak in the other directions.  I have a feeling both of those trends are going to come to an end very soon.

Units : 2
Overall Record: 18-21
