Ryan Vogelsong - MLB Odds: Giants Look for 6th Win in Row and Sweep vs Diamondbacks

The San Francisco Giants have pretty much owned the surprising Arizona Diamondbacks this season and the Giants can extend their NL West lead over second-place Arizona by sweeping their series on Thursday, which would give the World Series champs a sixth win in a row over the Snakes. Bet on the game with Bodog Sportsbook’s MLB odds.

San Francisco’s 5-2 win in Arizona on Wednesday came thanks in large part to Bill Hall’s go-ahead single in the sixth inning for his first hit since joining the team; he was only signed recently off the scrap heap because of the possible season-ending injury to second baseman Freddy Sanchez. Overall San Francisco is 7-1 vs. Arizona this season. All eight games have been decided by three runs or fewer.

The Giants might be ready to really extend their lead in the NL West. Following this visit to Arizona, they'll play 50 of their final 93 games at home, where they own a 19-12 record and have recorded nine walk-off victories.

Arizona turns to potential All-Star Ian Kennedy (7-2, 3.23) to figure out the Giants tonight. Kennedy is 4-1 in his past six starts and one of his best starts of the year came May 10 when he got a no-decision despite shutting out San Francisco for eight innings with eight strikeouts.

The Giants counter with Ryan Vogelsong (4-1, 1.81). He has allowed only five earned runs in his last 45 1/3 innings pitched. Vogelsong had a no-decision his last time out — six innings of two-run ball against the Reds on June 10.
