San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
Hayden Birdsong has been hittable this season, and the Giants have nothing to play for at this stage. The Arizona Diamondbacks are at home and closing in on a playoff spot. There are no excuses to lose a game like this. Eduardo Rodriguez has been rocky this year in limited innings, and he's been at his worst at Chase Field. Still, Rodriguez is a World Series champ, so he knows how to get the job done in pressure situations. Again, no excuses for the Diamondbacks. Give me the Diamondbacks and the RL for max betting value.
