Diamondbacks vs. Giants odds, run line, and total

Diamondbacks vs. Giants prediction and pick

The Diamondbacks are significant underdogs tonight, largely due to the fact they'll be rolling with Slade Cecconi, who will be marking his Major League debut.

Sure, Cecconi will be making his debut, and sure his AAA this numbers have been pretty rough (6.38 ERA), but I'm going to zig when everyone else is zagging and I'll trust the Diamondbacks as underdogs in this spot.

If there's one team that the 24-year old can perform well against in his debut, it's the Giants. Their offense has been terrible of late. Over the past 30 days, they have the worst batting average in the majors at .212. Their OPS isn't much better at .641. They also have the fewest runs scored over that time span at 82.

Let's believe in the young arm tonight and take a shot on the Diamondbacks as significant underdogs.
