Cain has really struggled on the road this year, but it really has been more bad luck than anything else he has an ERA over 5 this year, but a WHIP of 1.21 which tells me he should be in the 3-4.00 ERA range. He's been really unlucky with a 62% LOB on the season, but the Diamondbacks are 27th in OPS with RISP and 2 outs and are batting just .190 in that spot so I think he can have a great game here tonight. It also helps that the predictive line up has a .213 average against him and he has a 2.84 ERA over his last 13 starts vs. the Dbacks. Cain also is June which is his strongest month over the last 3 seasons where he posts a 2.44 ERA.

On the flip side Patrick Corbin has started to come back down to earth with back to back subpar outings. Facing the Giants whoa re 50-26 in their last 76 games vs. a lh starter won't be easy. Corbin has been lucky with a .255 babip and a 84% lob percentage but the Giants over their last 10 games have a .338 average and are scoring 5.82 runs per 9 vs. LHP and have been among the leaders in clutch hitting all year especially on the road.
