For starters, Matt Cain vs. Rodrigo Lopez is a huge mismatch. What's more, the Giants are red hot (loss to Dodgers notwithstanding) and facing a bottom-feeding team with a tired, last-ranked bullpen that threw eight innings against the Mets on Wednesday. It's reasonable to think that Lopez, who sucks, will get hit hard and the bullpen will be used heavily again. Also, the Giants have the eighth-best record in baseball against right-handed starters (37-29), while Arizona ranks 27th (30-44).
At -140, Giants ML seems like a great play to me.
