08/08/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Byung-Hyun Kim begins his second stint in an Arizona uniform as the National League West-leading Diamondbacks play the middle test of a three-game series versus the Pittsburgh Pirates this evening at Chase Field.
Kim began his major-league career with the Diamondbacks in 1999 and saved a club-record 36 games for Arizona in 2002. The Korean right-hander was traded to Boston the following season and has bounced around the majors ever since, including stops in both Colorado and Florida this year prior to being claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks last week.
The sidearmer had been pitching well for the Marlins lately, having recorded a 2-0 record with a 2.60 earned run average over his final three starts with the club. In his most recent appearance, Kim racked up a career-high 10 strikeouts and allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings to defeat Colorado on August 1.
For the year Kim has posted a 6-5 mark with a 4.63 ERA in 14 games, 13 of which have been starts. The 28-year-old takes the place of Yusmeiro Petit, who was recently optioned to the minors, in the Arizona rotation. Petit was subbing for the injured Randy Johnson.
Kim has faced Pittsburgh 12 times previously, three of which have been starts, and is 1-2 with three saves and a 3.86 ERA in those games.
Arizona has won 13 of its last 16 contests and owns a one-game edge over second-place San Diego in the National League West standings. The Diamondbacks had that advantage trimmed, however, following Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Pirates and the Padres' victory over St. Louis last night.
Ronny Paulino knocked in two runs for Pittsburgh while Nate McLouth, Jose Bautista and Jack Wilson all finished 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Bucs starter Tom Gorzelanny (10-6) was strong on the mound, limiting Arizona to two runs and four hits while striking out a career-high nine batters over seven innings.
The loss spoiled an impressive home debut for 19-year-old Justin Upton, who hit his first major league homer and finished a single shy of the cycle for the Diamondbacks. Orlando Hudson also homered in the loss.
Arizona's Micah Owings (5-6) worked the first 6 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on six hits with three walks and five strikeouts.
Pittsburgh has now won three of five since dropping 14 of its first 16 games following the All-Star break. One bright spot for the club during the second half has been the pitching of Paul Maholm, who seeks his third victory in four starts this evening.
Maholm is 2-2 with a solid 3.28 ERA in four starts since the break and posted back-to-back wins over the Astros and Mets before being handed a tough-luck loss by St. Louis on July 31. He allowed three runs -- two earned -- on six hits over six innings in Pittsburgh's 6-4 setback.
The left-hander has one loss and two no decisions in three previous starts against Arizona, while amassing a 4.58 ERA over 17 2/3 innings of work. That defeat came in Pittsburgh back in May, when Maholm was touched for five runs (four earned) on eight hits over five frames.
The Diamondbacks took two of three games from the Pirates at PNC Park earlier this season and are 7-3 against Pittsburgh since the start of the 2006 campaign. The Bucs were swept in a three-game set in Arizona last year.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
