After a torrid 21-8 start to their season and a precipitous 5-18 swoon after that, the Diamondbacks find themselves in a third act at the halfway point of 2018, having put together another 21-8 stretch since.

On Friday, the D’backs will extend their latest run behind left-hander Patrick Corbin, whose 3.24 ERA is corroborated and even buttressed by a bevy of advanced metrics.

Meanwhile, Giants starter Andrew Suarez is allowing a .310/.359/.497 slash line on the road along with a gaudy .368 weighed on-base average, a portent of bad things to come at Chase Field.

The play: Diamondbacks to win, -150 on the money line.
