Shane’s Free Pick
Kelly struggled in his last start, but the previous two starts he was lights out and he’s going to lockdown again here. The Diamondbacks bats are going to give him some run support, but the lack of scoring by the Giants will be the difference here. The Giants bats are going to be ice cold here, and that will be the difference as the Diamondbacks are going to get the job done here. Back the Diamondbacks.
