In a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday, Rodon allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings. He has given up 4 runs on 5 hits with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts in 5 innings versus the Diamondbacks in his career. He has been charged with the loss.

Probable Pitcher:  Tyler Gilbert (0-3, 5.34 ERA)

Urias will be on the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Diamondbacks. In five-plus innings on Saturday against the Padres, Gilbert gave up three runs on five hits, a walk, and one strikeout while recording a no-decision. He is 0-1 with an ERA of 1.69 and 5 strikeouts in 3 appearances versus the Giants in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

San Francisco Giants are 3-11 SU in their last 14 games on the road.

San Francisco Giants are 11-5 SU in their last 16 games when playing on the road against Arizona.

Arizona Dbacks are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games against an opponent in the National League West Division division.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Arizona's last 5 games against an opponent in the National League West Division division.

Prediction

The Giants have lost their last 5 games and continue to struggle offensively. For this game they'll send Carlos Rodon to the mound who struggled in his last start and already lost against the Dbacks this season allowing 4 runs in 5 innings. The Dbacks are riding some momentum as they have won 4 of their last 5 games. Tyler Gilbert will take the mound who has only 6 starts this season and the Dbacks have lost in 5 of those games. This is a great spot for the Giants to bounce back and break their losing streak. Take the Giants.

PICK: Giants ML (-165)
