After last night’s victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, the San Francisco Giants have now won 5 straight against the Snakes and their last 4 at Chase Field, but trends can be broken. Arizona will host San Francisco tonight for the second game of a 4-game set and will send their flame throwing lefty to the hill, Patrick Corbin. The New York native is 7-4, with a 3.26 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP, and is 1-1 in his last 3 turns with a 4.26 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. The Giants will reach into the barrel and send Chris Stratton to the rubber. Stratton will be making his first start since being recalled from AAA Sacramento. His 2018 Big League numbers are 8-6, with an elevated ERA of 5.14 and a 1.46 WHIP. Over Stratton’s last 3 turns, his ERA is not good, at 8.62 with a 1.91 WHIP and the Giants are 1-4 in his last 5 starts. There is a pitching mismatch here.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
