Current odds:

San Francisco Giants: (+120)

 

• Ray (3-1, 3.25 ERA), one of the hottest pitchers in the National League, will pursue a ninth consecutive start without a defeat when he opposes Giants left-hander Drew Pomeranz (1-4, 5.66) in the series opener.

• Pomeranz has been on the opposite end of the success spectrum from Ray, having allowed 12 runs in just 10 1/3 innings in his last three starts. Just sending Pomeranz to the mound already has proven costly for the Giants, who activated the 30-year-old from the injured list in order for him to start at Arizona last Sunday. Pomeranz had been out with a strained lat.

• The good news for the first-year Giant is the Diamondbacks no longer employ Paul Goldschmidt, a longtime pain in his side. While with Arizona, Goldschmidt went 6-for-12 against Pomeranz with three doubles, a home run and five RBI.

• Suffice it to say, no Giant has had close to that kind of success against Ray, who has gone 4-1 with a 2.98 ERA in 12 starts against the National League West rival.
