00:00Who's going to be showing up to Oracle Park for the Wednesday afternoon showdown between

00:07the Giants and the Diamondbacks and National League West showdown here.

00:12The Diamondbacks favored, minus 142 there on the money line.

00:16No surprises.

00:17They get Zach Gallen out there on the hill, but what do we make of the Giants' chances?

00:20He'll play better at home and they get Hayden Birdsong, who's listed here, Donnie, at four

00:26and a half Ks.

00:27He's gone over it in four straight.

00:29So Birdsong's obviously in control of East star.

00:33Here's the problem with Birdsong.

00:34You take a look at his last 89 batters, Dubsy, high ISO power numbers against high weighted

00:39on base percentages, which will get you in trouble with Arizona.

00:42Now, granted, San Francisco, one of the better pitching ballparks in Major League Baseball.

00:46We understand that cooler temperatures, big ball yard, maybe a lot, a lot of home runs

00:50expected.

00:51But if you are looking at the last 30 days of that lineup for the Arizona Diamondbacks

00:55against right-handed pitching, Corbin Carroll, Jake McCarthy, Jock Peterson, off the charts

00:59here with ISO weighted on base percentages here.

01:02Adrian Del Castillo, as well as Eugenio Suarez.

01:05And then we'll throw in Perdomo, who's due to bat ninth.

01:07You got looks like six to seven plus batters in the lineup tonight for the Diamondbacks.

01:12Gallen's the better pitcher.

01:14The lineup is better for the Diamondbacks.

01:16I'll lay the favorite here and also maybe a team total with the Diamondbacks.

01:19I think they hit tonight, Dubsy, I do.
