Diamondbacks lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, 32, is having a difficult season, especially on the road where he owns a 7.43 ERA. He has served up six homers in his last four starts while posting a 10.13 ERA. The Giants are 13-6 at Oracle Park and have MLB's top bullpen (2.62 ERA) behind struggling starter Jordan Hicks. Back the Giants in the rubber game.

FanDuel. The 2025 Diamondbacks are doing their best 2024 Royals impression with their home/road splits. At home, against right-handed pitching, the Diamondbacks have the lowest strikeout rate in baseball (16.6%). On the road, their strikeout rate jumps to 25.6% - the fourth highest mark. I’ll test these splits today, with Jordan Hicks on the bump. Hicks has cleared this line in six of his eight starts, showing increased velocity in his second full season as a starter. Eleven of thirteen non-opener righty starters have cleared this line at home versus Arizona this season, including each of the last ten. I’ll bet on Hicks to continue that trend.

Drill a bit deeper and we'll see that the stats for Giants starter Jordan Hicks might not be as bad as they look on the surface, with his 5.82 ERA. Across his last three starts, there has been improvement. as his ERA has been a more respectable 4.50, and he did work thru six innings last Friday at Minnesota. The Giants also snapped a 4-game skid with a ten-run eruption last night, so the vibes are good for Wednesday. They're better still with the thought of taking swings vs. Arizona's struggling Eduardo Rodriguez, whose last three starts have, unlike Hicks, been getting progressively worse, with a 12.75 ERA that span suggesting real struggles.
