Picks for a Homer-Happy Matchup

Heading into today's matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants, it's evident that the Coors Field altitude will be a significant factor. Both teams have above-average home run rates, and the Giants' bullpen ranks among the worst in the MLB.

Hitters

*

Ketel Marte (ARI): Marte has been on a tear lately, hitting .340 in his last 10 games with two homers and nine RBIs. *

Christian Walker (ARI): Walker leads the Diamondbacks in homers this season and has a .900 OPS against right-handed pitchers. *

Brandon Crawford (SF): Crawford has been a consistent performer in the Giants' lineup, hitting .300 with 10 homers and 50 RBIs this season.

Pitchers

*

Madison Bumgarner (ARI): Bumgarner has been struggling this season, but he has a good track record against the Giants, going 4-1 with a 2.61 ERA in his career against them. *

Jakob Junis (SF): Junis has been reliable for the Giants this season, posting a 3.50 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 10 starts.

Stacks

Giants: Crawford, Joc Pederson, Mike Yastrzemski

Strategy

*

Target right-handed hitters against Bumgarner, who has a 5.25 ERA against them this season. *

Be wary of the Giants' bullpen, which has the second-worst ERA in the MLB.
