San Francisco improved to 78-78 following its 6-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Ford Proctor belted a grand slam for his first career homer and Carlos Rodon had 10 strikeouts across six shutout innings.

In three appearances, Arizona starting pitcher Drey Jameson has allowed only two earned runs on 14 inch across 18 ⅓ innings. San Francisco starting pitcher Jakob Junis gave up just one run across 5 ⅓ innings last Sunday versus Arizona and therefore the play here is UNDER. The UNDER has cashed in six of San Francisco's last seven versus Arizona and in six of the Giants last nine at home. In addition, the UNDER has cashed in five of the last six that Arizona has played on the road versus San Francisco. Final Score Prediction, San Francisco Giants win but our best play is UNDER 4-2.
