Moneyline (ML)
The Diamondbacks are slightly favored in this game at -115. After an extremely slow start to the season offensively, they won six in a row and nine out of 12 while batting .310 as a team.
They were back to their old ways in two straight losses to the Oakland Athletics, scoring only one run in each of the last two games. The Giants (+105), meanwhile, have won three in a row but only four of their last 10.
Ray was better in his last start but has not been getting guys out well otherwise. It will be a back-and-forth affair, but Arizona will rally late to make up for Ray’s early struggles. Take the DIAMONDBACKS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The Diamondbacks are favored at -1.5 (+125), while the Giants are -154 to cover the +1.5. Despite their sub-.500 record, the Giants are 15-12 on the run line, while the .500 Diamondbacks have covered in only 46% of their games.
Expect a one-run affair. GIANTS +1.5 (-154).
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 9.5 runs with -110 odds on either side. No team has a higher Over percentage than the Giants at 68.2%. The Diamondbacks hit the Under in their games more often than not, but that was due to their lack of offensive production.
Their games have gone Under in only four of their last 12. Take the OVER 9.5 (-110).
