Arizona (4th – NL West) at San Francisco (5th – NL West)
Giants starter Madison Baumgarner got roughed up in his latest but should rebound tonight against the Diamondbacks who he’s been successful versus in the past. Or will he? There are some land mines in the Arizona lineup that he’ll have to avoid. Inciarte has hit .417 against him going 5 for 12 and Pachaeo is .370 on 10 of 27 in his career against the Giants’ lefty. The Diamondbacks are off to a good start versus left-handed pitching and may be able to get a handful of runs tonight. That may be enough with Rookie Archie Bradley on the mound. Bradley was very good in his MLB debut allowing just 1 hit in 6 innings of work. He did walk 4 and will have to correct that although the Giants haven’t been putting a scare into opposing pitchers with a .185 team batting average against right-handers. Key stat: San Francisco has scroed 10 runs in their last 7 games. This has value written all over it.
