Birdsong will face the number one offense right now and the Diamondbacks can get to Birdsong on the road as they are hitting right handed pitchers well. Birdsong is better at home and will be vulnerable on the road in this spot. He also pitched against Arizona in August and didn’t fare well against them in that game giving up 2 runs, 1 home runs and walked 5 batters in 3 innings of work. Rodriguez hasn’t been as consistent recently and sports an ERA over 6 at home. The Giants can get to him for a few and get a few from the Diamondback’s bullpen which is average. Arizona is an Over team and this game should go Over the Total. The total has gone Over in 7 of Arizona's last 9 games at home. The Over is 17-6-3 in Diamondbacks last 26 games with the total set at 9.0-10.5. The Giants as a road underdog of +100 or higher are 30-14 to the Over on the road. Arizona versus division opponents is 30-14 to the Over and after allowing 10 or more runs is 11-4 to the Over.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
