The Arizona Diamondbacks continue their nine game road swing tonight as they square off against the defending champion San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park. This evening’s series opener between the two division rivals is scheduled to get underway at 10:15pm ET. The latest MLB Odds have the Giants listed as a -121 moneyline favorite ($121 wins $100) and the Over/Under set at seven runs (Under favored at -125 odds). The Diamondbacks are drawing +111 odds to win their 11^th game of the season.

 

Arizona’s hot start to the season has faded some, with the team losing four of its last six games; however, the Diamondbacks have avoided being swept in three of their last four series by pulling out a game three win.

 

Arizona did just that yesterday, topping the Rockies at Coors Field. The Diamondbacks, who lost games one and two 3-1 and 4-3 respectively, trailed 3-0 after three innings but they went on to win 5-4 thanks to a two run ninth inning.

 

Young left-hander Wade Miley will look to make it two in row for Arizona when he takes the hill tonight. Miley, who owns a 1-2 record with a 3.60 ERA in three appearances against the Giants, has been outstanding through three starts this season, piecing together a 2-0 record with a 2.79 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.

 

San Francisco recorded its third straight win and second consecutive shutout yesterday, defeating the Padres 5-0. The Giants will attempt to make it four in a row with Ryan Vogelsong toeing the rubber at AT&T Park.

 

Unlike Miley, Vogelsong has gotten off to a rough start (1-1, 5.89 ERA), but he is coming off his best outing of the season. The eight year veteran gave up five hits and three earned runs over seven innings in a 3-4 San Francisco loss at Milwaukee last Wednesday.

 

Notable Trend(s): The Over is 5-1 in the Diamondbacks last six games as a road dog with a total between 6 and 7 runs. The Giants are 9-1 in their last 10 games as a home favorite against a left-handed pitcher.

 

 

Arizona Diamondbacks +1.5 (-210), Over 7 (+105), +111 (Moneyline)

San Francisco Giants -1.5 (+175), Under 7 (-125), -121 (Moneyline)
