Giants +120
With the betting public on the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Giants tonight, the smart money seems to like the Giants as the underdog against the DBacks. This is understandable given the Giants have won seven of their last eight in Arizona, and Cain has won four of their last five against Arizona.
Problem is that's all the Giants seem to have going for the following reasons:
1)Matt Cain has been horrible on the road, pitching an ERA of 6.27 withWHIP getting close to 1.33, and has given up 8 runs in twelve innings of work last two games against Arizona.
2)San Francisco has hit lefties fairly well but they haven't hit well past five games with a batting AVG. of .322 and an OBP of .259. Could they turn it around? Perhaps, but would you bet on it?
3)Arizona is one of the hottest hitting teams in the league right, they went into St. Louis and put 25 runs in three games.
4)Arizona has won 6 of its last seven at home
5)And Arizona puts Corbin on the mound who his rock solid at home and pitched 2 runs in seven innings @ SF in his last outing.
Now I'm not saying the Giants won't win but there chances in this one look slim, and I think your bankroll could be put to much better use elsewhere (like the over on game total which stands at eight).
Finally I leave you with Corbin's numbers for the past 10 games, courtesy of ESPN:
As you can see he hasn't pitched as well past two games, but I still wouldn't fade those numbers given the way San Fran has been hitting. After all of that, if you still want to take the Giants ... BOL. I'll be on the otherside with:
