Diamondbacks vs Giants prediction

This is a strange game because we don’t know what to expect from Jordan Montgomery in his first start given the long layoff. Montgomery was one of the best pitchers in baseball last season, but there are questions about potential rust. Blake Snell is also one of the best pitchers in baseball, but he’s allowed 9 hits and 10 runs through his first 7 innings. We know what both are capable of, but there’s question marks early in the season. So, if forced to pick, give me the better price. I’ll take the plus money with the Diamondbacks on the road.
