1* Free Play OVER Giants/D-Backs.

The visitors hand the ball to Ryan Vogelsong (9-11, 4.58 ERA) who was shelled for eight runs off 11 hits over just three innings in his third straight loss, this time in Colorado on Thursday. The 11-year vet continues to regress as the season progresses, he's now given up a whopping 14 runs over his last 11 innings of work and unfortunately for the hard-throwing right-hander, a date on the road is not what the doctor ordered to get untracked as he's a poor 6-8 with a ballooned 5.55 ERA away from friendly confines to date. The home side counters with Chase Anderson (6-5, 4.26 ERA) who gave up two runs in a no-decision vs. the Athletics on Friday. Anderson has been hit or miss with his consistency all season and has certainly been sub-par in this spot all year, coming into this contest having gone just 2-3 with a pedestrian 4.24 ERA in front of the home town crowd. With both starters struggling, the OVER does indeed become a legitimate investment opportunity.
