There’s no way the Arizona Diamondbacks should be trading close to even money in this matchup against the San Francisco Giants. I make the Diamondbacks closer to -130 favorites, which is why I’m hitting the button. The Giants already have one of the weaker offenses in baseball, and the matchup becomes even more difficult with left-hander Eduardo Rodríguez on the mound. The lefty-lefty matchup is especially disruptive for the primary offensive threats in the Giants lineup, including Rafael Devers and Luis Arraez. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks lineup is in a strong spot offensively. Ketel Marte is swinging a hot bat, while Corbin Carroll is one of the best gap hitters in baseball and a player who can fully take advantage of the spacious triple alleys at Oracle Park.

The Diamondbacks have been tearing the cover off the ball, ranking second in OPS over the last two weeks, and they just hung six runs over five innings on Giants SP Tyler Mahle last week. San Fran is a modest 19th in OPS vs. lefties, and they'll take on Eduardo Rodriguez (2.24 ERA) on Tuesday night.

The Rockies strikeout at the highest rate against lefties, and Dodgers southpaw Eric Lauer is a candidate for improvement. He spun a solid 3.18 ERA and 3.86 xERA across 104 2/3 innings last year, so I’m expecting regression to his respective 6.69 and 5.83 current marks. Los Angeles outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has been a force against lefties with a .391 wOBA and .284 ISO since the beginning of 2024, and he’s also rolling along a 12-game heater consisting of 11 runs, 17 hits and 14 RBI with a 1.099 OPS.

Both teams are trending to the Under as the Rockies are 13-17 O/U on the road and the Dodgers are 10-16 O/U at home. Kyle Freeland is better away from Coors (13.6 K-BB%), while the Dodgers can use Eric Lauer for a few innings against an impotent lineup against LHP before relying on a stingy bullpen (2.46 FIP this month).

Cristopher Sanchez remains in elite form, while Walker Buehler continues to be a liability in San Diego’s rotation, sporting a 5.01 ERA with a whiff rate that ranks in just the 13th percentile at Baseball Savant. Give me the Phillies on the road.

Junior Caminero continues to crush the baseball, hitting .409 over the last week with 13 home runs on the season. Ryan Weathers has allowed all eight of his homers this year to right-handed batters, which sets up well for the powerful Tampa Bay slugger.

Drew Rasmussen vs. the New York Yankees is a mismatch on paper — the righty is 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA and 51 punchouts in eight career games against New York. Coming off a thrilling comeback win on Friday, the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays are primed to keep the foot on the gas behind their dynamic arm to create more separation in the AL East.
