Free MLB Picks, Tips and Odds: Arizona Diamondbacks at Detroit Tigers Favorite, Moneyline, Total and Expert Predictions 6/25/11: The Arizona Diamondbacks used a pair of big innings mid-way through last nights game in Detroit to get by the surging Tigers. The fourth and fifth frames saw the Diamondbacks rattle the ball all over Comerica Park to take three runs in each. At 43-34, the Arizona Diamondbacks are having one of their most productive seasons in some time and they currently hold the top spot in the highly competitive NL West. The theme to this seasons success has been timely hitting and consistent outings on the mound. Arizona has never possessed a potent offensive unit and they rarely are recognized for the offensive talent they do posses, but this seasons has witnessed the rebirth of this slumping offense and they are now giving their pitchers support. Arizona leads the national league in homers with 87 and hold the 3rd spot for runs. The pitching has been solid this season, thanks in large part to years and years of selective scouting. The Diamondbacks, over the last few years, were ridiculed for not bringing up their plethora of hot, fresh arms from the minors. They earned these cannons from years upon years of great drafting and acquisition, but they stuck to their principles of educating and mentoring these young prospects in the minors until they were 100% ready to make the jump. Skip forward to today and the Diamondbacks posses one of the best, as well as youngest, pitching rotations in the game and it is all thanks to staying true to the belief in development.

The Tigers have used a hot month of June to surge right back into contention with the Cleveland Indians, only 1 game back now. They have done so by getting consistent production at the plate and timely hitting. Justin Verlander will get the ball tonight for the Tigers who will be looking for his 10th win on the season. Already with a no-hitter and a close follow up, Verlander is a prime candidate thus far for the CY Young designation. He is one of the games best and he rarely provides poor performances. The Tigers will most likely be in the market for another big arm when the trading deadline inches a little closer. Detroit does not posses a complement to Verlander at this point and it will be essential for them to pick up another solid arm.

Tonight we will recommend a play on the Arizona DiamondbacksBetGuardian Sportsbook) in the second game of this weekend set with the Detroit Tigers. The Diamondbacks flexed their offensive muscle in last nights affair on way to a 7-6 victory. Arizona has benefited from the extra hitter in competition with the American league, they have a 4-0 record in American league ballparks. The Dbacks’ send motor city native Josh Collmenter to the mound tonight in his first appearance in front of his Michigan peers. Collmenter has been a pleasant surprise for the Diamondbacks and he is fitting in quite nicely to the 5 man rotation. He sports a 4-3 record with a ridiculous 2.09 ERA, accompanied with 39 strikeouts and 11 base on balls. He should be fired up tonight to play against the Tigers and I expect him to bring his A+ material tonight. We will consider the Arizona Diamondbacks earning the series win tonight on the arm of Michigan native Josh Collmenter. Cheers!
