Arizona at San Francisco

They say that the only certainties in life are death and taxes, but creeping up on that short list is Matt Cain. Cain has pitched 35 of his last 46 games, allowing 3 runs or less, so you have the expectation that the opponent will be shutdown here, and limited on offense. He’s facing an Arizona team that is just 9-16 on the road and has lost an amazing 14 games by 4 runs or more this season already, makes this one quite appealing for the Giants. The Diamondbacks’ road woes are extended when they face right-hand pitching, logging in at 11-30 in their last 41. The Giants have registered a 25-10 mark at home in their last 35 vs. a losing team, and the D-Backs are taking a death sentence in San Francisco at 21-46 in their last 67 here. The Giants get the call.
