Schule's MLB Merchant of Death - *EARLY START*
(MLB) Arizona vs. San Francisco, 09/19/2015 12:05 PM, Score: 6 - 0
Point Spread: 1.50 | -183.00 Arizona (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Arizona Diamondbacks +1.5.

The D'Backs took two of three in a home series versus San Francisco last week, and they upset the Giants in the series opener at AT&T Park last night. It was a rare loss for Madison Bumgarner, and I think Arizona's bats will stay hot today against a struggling Mike Leake.

Patrick Corbin will toe the slab for the visitors, and he's been pretty solid in his return from Tommy John surgery. Corbin (5-4, 3.29 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on eight hits in six innings, not factoring in the decision in a 4-2 loss to the Dodgers his last time out. Prior to that he tossed six scoreless innings in a 6-1 home win over the Giants. He's pitched very well against the Giants this year, allowing just two runs on 10 hits over 11 innings.

Leake (10-8, 3.72 ERA) allowed three runs on four hits over six innings in a home win over the Padres his last time out. Prior to that he was hammered in Arizona, giving up six runs on 11 hits opposite Corbin in a 6-1 loss. He's posted an ERA of 5.11 in his two starts at AT&T Park so far, and he's struggled in day games as well.

The Giants have lost eight of their last nine versus left-handed starters.

Take ARI.
