I like the over in this matchup because both teams have recently been involved in higher-scoring games. Arizona recently scored 9, 5, 2, and 6 runs over the last several games, while San Francisco recently put up 8 and 10 runs against Chicago. Tyler Mahle’s elevated ERA also increases the likelihood of scoring opportunities for Arizona throughout the game.
