<h2>
Monday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Lefty Strahm is 4/8 on quality starts this season, with seven straight outings of allowing two runs or less. Last Wednesday he held the Dodgers to two runs and seven hits through five innings, although the Padres lost that game 2-0. And over his last seven starts, he's allowed just 10 earned runs through 41 1/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
On the season San Diego is 4-4 with Strahm, 3-1 over his last four starts.
</p>
<p>
In two starts already this season against the Diamondbacks Strahm first gave up five runs in 2 2/3 innings of a 10-3 loss, then threw five scoreless innings in a 5-4 victory.
</p>
<p>
Greinke, by our stringent standards, is 7/10 on quality starts this season and six for his last seven. Last Wednesday he held Pittsburgh scoreless on four hits through 7 2/3 innings of an 11-1 Arizona win. And over his last seven starts, he's allowed just seven ER through 48 1/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
On the season the Diamondbacks are 7-3 with Greinke, and while they're only 1-2 over his last three starts, that's not his fault.
</p>
<p>
In two starts already this season against the Padres Greinke gave up five runs and 10 hits, including four homers, through 13 innings. Arizona won both those games.
