Dansby Swanson @ Philadelphia Phillies
- Swanson has hit 2 HR over the last seven days, while he’s also taken Phillies starter deep on three occasions in a large sample of plate appearances.
Kyle Tucker vs Seattle Mariners
- Tucker has been one of Seattle’s hottest hitters over the last week. He’s also taken Bryce Miller deep in the past, a homer that registered 88.8 MPH off the bat.
DBacks nine-year veteran Eduardo Rodriguez has put together two decent starts over the last fortnight, which has me leaning the way of the home side in this one.
The 31-year-old lefty struck out 11 and allowed only two earned runs at Coors Field last week against the Rockies, a nice performance after holding a dangerous Brewers lineup to a pair of runs a week earlier.
San Francisco has struggled against southpaws for most of the year, ranking middle of the league in runs scored, and Top 10 in strikeout rate.
With Giants rookie Hayden Birdsong sporting a rough 5.55 ERA on the road this year, alongside the fact the DBacks have scored the second-most runs over the last seven days, this has all the makings of an Arizona win.
- Tip: Back the Diamondbacks to Win & Over 5.5 Runs @ $1.75
- Player Pick: Eduardo Rodriguez Over 5.5 Strikeouts
