The Arizona Diamondbacks will be glad to get back to the desert tonight when they open a 3-game set with their NL West rival, the San Francisco Giants. The D-backs went 2-4 on their recent road trip and were swept by the Tampa Bay Rays where they mustered just 4 runs over the 3-game series. Tonight though they should get back on the rails. Arizona has won all 6 meetings with San Fran this year and their lethargic bats should wake up against the Giants’ expected starter Tyler Mahle. Mahle is 1-7 with a 5.49 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. Arizona is expected to give the nod to Eduardo Rodríguez who has exceptional numbers. He is 6-2 with a 2.27 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. The Snakes are tough at home with a record of 24-17 and on the flip side the Giants are a dismal 17-26 away from Oracle Park.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
