With last night’s 6-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park, the Arizona Diamondbacks have won all 4 meetings with their NL West rival this season, outscoring them 29-10 over that span because the Giants do not score runs. The Giants are dead last in the league in scoring, averaging just 3.6 per game, and tonight they are expected to face southpaw Eduardo Rodríguez who has been throwing flames. Rodríguez is 4-1 with an excellent ERA of only 2.24 and a WHIP to match at 1.19. Tyler Mahle is expected to get the nod for the Giants and he has been just the opposite. Mahle is 1-6 with a bloated ERA of 6.10 and a 1.57 WHIP. The Snakes are one of the hottest teams in the league. They have won 3 straight and 8 of their last 10. With an offense that is averaging just under 5 runs per game, Mahle could be in trouble.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
