Recent form displayed by each of these starting pitchers suggests that runs should be at a premium tonight:

Zack Godley: He's 4-4 with a 3.06 ERA. Godley most recently went seven scoreless with seven K's in a win over the Cardinals on Thursday. To go along with his solid 3.06 ERA, Godley also sports a sharp 1.01 WHIP and 9.3 K/9 (his peripherals suggest that it's no fluke either, as his 3.03 FIP makes his numbers sustainable moving forward.) Note that he owns a solid 3.04 ERA on the road as well.

Jake Arrieta: He's 10-7 with a 4.03 ERA. Arrieta most recently gave up two runs off two hits while striking out five over seven innings in a victory over the White Sox on Wednesday. Arrieta continued his string of strong play, as he came into that one having posted a 3.30 ERA over his previous ten trips to the hill (giving up two runs or fewer in seven of those starts.) Note that Arrieta owns a respectable 3-1, 3.86 ERA record at home.

The bottom line: We think these two capable starters will battle deep, resulting in this total sneaking below the posted number once it's all said and done.
