The Arizona Diamondbacks are:
9-2 in their last 11 games after a loss
7-3 in their last 10 road games against a left-handed starter
6-1 in Buchholz's last seven starts
4-1 in Buchholz's last five road starts
The San Francisco Giants are:
1-7 in their last eight when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game
0-4 in their last four after scoring two runs or less in their previous game
2-5 in Bumgarner's last seven home starts against a team with a winning record
2-5 in Bgarner's last seven Tuesday starts
3-8 in Bumgarner's last 11 starts when their opponent allows two runs or less in their previous game
2-8 in Bgarner's last 10 starts after allowing two runs or less in their previous game
2-9 in Bgarner's last 11 starts after scoring two runs or less in their previous game
1-5 in Bumgarner's last six starts during game 2 of a series
1-7 in Bgarner's last eight starts when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game
1-5 in Bumgarner's last six starts against the Diamondbacks
1-7 in Bgarner's last eight home starts against the Diamondbacks
Neither offense is putting up a ton of runs lately and I can't pass on a dominant starter like Clay Buchholz at plus money.
