#953/954 ASA PLAY ON 8* Over 9 Runs – San Francisco Giants @ Arizona Diamondbacks, Thursday at 9:40 PM ET - Expected starters are Alex Cobb for San Francisco and Tommy Henry for the Diamondbacks. We like the over here regardless of the starting pitchers as the Diamondbacks continue to trend toward high-scoring games. Also, these two bullpens have ERA numbers that rank them near the bottom of the majors this season. The Arizona bullpen has a 4.70 ERA on the season and the Giants bullpen has a 5.63 ERA on the season. As for the starter here, Cobb has a low ERA and is off a good start in his first outing this month. However, last month in April he had 6 starts and was hit at a .287 clip for the month! Also, he particularly has struggled on the road this season with 18 hits allowed in 13.2 innings of work. So Cobb is very fortunate for his low ERA and we look for the Diamondbacks to hit him hard just like they did in his last visit here last season when he allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings of work. Also, the Giants should pound Henry. The Dbacks southpaw allowed 5 earned runs in 4.2 innings when he faced them in Arizona last season. This season Henry has struggled in his limited action so far and has a 5.17 ERA so far after compiling a 5.36 ERA in his rookie season last year. The Giants are off a game that totaled double digits in runs for the 3rd time in 6 games. 16 of Diamondbacks last 21 games have totaled at least 9 runs! We expect double digits here as this is a hitters park and the bullpens have both struggled and both lineups are likely to enjoy big success tonight regardless of the starting pitchers. But, the fact is those starters look to certainly help the cause if they get the ball here! Over is the call in this one Thursday night.
