Pick: UNDER 9'' at Diamondbacks
Reason:

All Best Bets UNDEFEATED since the All-Star break and Tuesday''s special release features several very UNUSUAL events rarely seen on the diamond (read the "analysis" carefully in the GUARANTEED section)!!!

"1 UNIT" LATE NIGHT TOTAL (Mets at Diamondbacks UNDER 9' in a 9:40 eastern start--------Dickey versus Enright): The bottom line is that we have a pair of impressive starters on the mound this evening including knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (2.63 ERA) of the Mets.

The last time Dickey was on the mound he was on the losing end of a very low scoring 2-0 contest against two-time Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum. Odds are that Dickey will not receive much run support again this evening since the Mets offense continues to be in a prolonged slump. In the past nine games New York has crossed the plate a grand total of only 16 times. In the past month the Metropolitans have averaged only 3.8 runs per contest.

One would have thought the Mets attack would have broken loose last night as 3 veterans (Carlos Beltran, Jose Reyes, Luis Castillo) were on the field together for the first time in more than one solid year. On the mound for Arizona this evening is the relatively unknown Barry Enright (3.54 ERA) who has racked up an impressive 13 STRIKEOUT victims in just 15.2 innings of work. Last night's opener of this series featured a wild 13-2 final verdict which opens the door to an interesting angle from my database research. In the past two years the Mets are a resounding 20-6 UNDER after a game where a combined 15+ runs were scored
