00:00and the Diamondbacks, San Francisco looking to avoid a

00:06sweep against Arizona booked as nearly a dollar and a half

00:09favorite at home. Blake Snell gets the start against Merrill

00:13Kelly. Seven and a half is the total slightly on its way up.

00:17The Dbacks have won both of the first two games of this set.

00:21Yesterday, Zach Allen, no hit baseball through six innings.

00:24Did throw 100 pitches. So, didn't get the chance to

00:27prolong the no hit bid against the Giants but Arizona has won

00:31the first two in San Francisco. And by the way,

00:33yesterday, my favorite team total of the night was the

00:35Arizona Diamondbacks. They played six runs to cash that

00:38over. Gonna be much harder to score runs today. Birdsong

00:41yesterday, not a great pitcher. Blake Snell, maybe the best

00:44overall pitcher in baseball over the past 60 days. Why do I say

00:48that? Take a look at this. Ten games started over the past two

00:51months here. Sixty-two and two-thirds innings pitched

00:53here. How about an ERA Ben of 1.30 with an X-fifth of 290.

00:59Absolutely tremendous. Pitchers ballpark. He should be able to

01:02be dominant tonight and you take a look at that Arizona

01:04Diamondbacks lineup today. Struggling over the past 30

01:07days against left-handed pitching. This should be a

01:09great performance out of him against a pretty good lineup.

01:11On the opposite side, Merrill Kelly. Look at his last 30

01:14days, Ben. Ninety-eight batters he's faced in ISO 307 against a

01:18weighted on base percentage of 427 against. He's been

01:21absolutely hammered. This is a pitching mismatch. If we have

01:23fifteen pitchers, Ben, on the card today, 60 days, minimum of

01:28twenty innings. You got number one versus number fifteen. This

01:32should be a win for the Giants today.
