Moneyline (ML)
The Diamondbacks, favored at -139 broke an eight-game losing streak on Friday and the Giants (+125) have lost three in a row. Cahill has been solid for the Giants but Weaver’s performance in his last two starts shows he is almost back to his pre-injury level with the D-Backs. The question is about hitting. Arizona scored eight runs in the first six games of their eight-game losing streak. They have scored 18 in their last three games. Arizona’s streaky play will continue to ride their current success. Take the DIAMONDBACKS -139.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
Arizona is the favorite at -1.5 (+135). The Giants (+1.5, -167), though have covered 55.9% of their games this season. Their ATS record is exactly opposite their actual record, while Arizona’s ATS record is exactly the same. Expect an Arizona win but it will be a one-run contest. Take the GIANTS +1.5 (-167).
Over/Under (O/U)
Saturday’s total is set at 10 runs. The Diamondbacks have the third-lowest Over percentage in the entire league. The Giants have the second-highest Over percentage. They went Over in their first game of the series. Cahill has been good. Weaver’s last two starts suggest he will keep the runs low. This will be a low-scoring game. Go with the UNDER 10 runs (-110).
