04/22/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dan Haren hopes his string of hard-luck starts comes to an end when the Arizona hurler takes the hill for the Diamondbacks in today's rubber match of a three-game series with the Colorado Rockies at Chase Field.
Haren has allowed only four runs and 12 hits through 19 innings over his first three starts of 2009, but was saddled with the loss in all of those games due an unbelievable lack of offensive support. The Diamondbacks have scored a mere one run in Haren's three outings.
One of Haren's setbacks came to the Rockies in Phoenix earlier this month, when the All-Star right-hander was outdueled by Ubaldo Jimenez in a 3-0 Colorado win on April 7. Haren limited the opposition to one run and three hits on that night, while striking out nine Rockies without issuing a walk.
That loss dropped Haren to 3-3 in seven lifetime starts against Colorado, although he's pitched to a solid 3.48 earned run average during that stretch.
The 28-year-old was sharp again in his last mound trip, holding San Francisco to a run and fanning six over six frames in his team's shutout loss to the Giants on Friday.
Haren could be in for another frustrating start this afternoon if his counterpart, Jorge De La Rosa, repeats his most recent performance for the Rockies.
De La Rosa fired 5 1/3 shutout innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, working around four walks and striking out five batters, but was denied his first victory of the season after the Colorado bullpen gave up four runs in the bottom of the seventh.
In his season debut, De La Rosa was dealt a home loss by Philadelphia on April 11 after permitting five runs on six hits in just 4 2/3 innings of work.
The Mexican left-hander owns a 1-1 record with a strong 2.53 ERA in seven career appearances against Arizona, three of which have been starts. He struggled in his only start at Chase Field in 2008, however, surrendering four runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 4-3 Rockies loss last May.
Colorado lost 15 of 18 meetings with Arizona last year, including eight of nine matchups held at Chase Field, but the club has fared much better against the Diamondbacks so far in 2009. The Rockies took two of three games from their fellow National League West members in Phoenix to open the season, and have split the first two tests of this set following Tuesday's 9-6 triumph.
The Rockies trailed 6-3 after five innings but moved in front with a four-run sixth capped by Brad Hawpe's go-ahead two-RBI single off reliever Juan Gutierrez (0-1).
Todd Helton also helped Colorado halt a four-game losing streak by going 3- for-5 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored at the plate. Garrett Atkins collected three hits as well for the Rockies, who improved to 2-5 on an eight-game road trip that concludes today.
Matt Belisle (1-0) picked up the win with 1 2/3 perfect innings of relief, with Manny Corpas tossing a scoreless ninth to notch his first save of the season.
Mark Reynolds had a two-run homer and Chris Young and Eric Byrnes added solo shots for Arizona, which fell for the seventh time in its last 10 games.
Diamondbacks starter Yusmeiro Petit worked the first five innings and allowed three runs -- two earned -- on eight hits.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
