This is an 8* play on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

We think we're getting great value on Patrick Corbin and the hard-hitting visiting side in this one. Corbin (5-2, 2.99 ERA) comes in off an outing to forget against the Reds on Wednesday, allowing six runs off eight hits while striking out ten over six innings. Outings like that have been few and far between for the southpaw the last two years though and note his 11.7 K/9 ranks behind only the Nationals' Max Scherzer. Note as well that Corbin is 1-0 with a 3.07 ERA on the road and 3-1 with a 2.70 ERA in all "night" contests. The home side goes with Madison Bumgarner (0-0, 0.00) who makes his season debut for the Giants after breaking his hand during a spring training outing back on March 23rd. Last year Bumgarner was 4-9 with a 3.32 ERA. Clearly the book is still out on where Bumgarner's performance level is at right now and there's no question that he draws a tough first matchup. Note as well that Arizona is a sharp 18-10 (+8.6 units) this year against clubs with losing records, while San Fran is a poor 16-20 (-1.3 units0 against teams with winning records. Play on the DIAMONDBACKS.
