This total is too short. Unlike many other games, this is a matchup where the weather is nice. There's also a 10-12 mph wind blowing out.
Arizona has one of the best offenses in the National League. The Diamondbacks rank seventh in runs scored. They draw Derek Holland and a revamped - and largely untested - San Francisco bullpen that lacks a reliable closer.
Holland struggled with the White Sox during the second half of last year going 2-5 with an 8.93 ERA during his final 12 appearances that included nine starts. He had a 4.05 spring training ERA and last pitched on March 31 so he figures to be rusty.
Zack Godley is showing a lot of promise, but he's still a middle-of-the-rotation type pitcher and has a bad history against the Giants with a 7.84 lifetime ERA in four appearances versus San Francisco.
