Prediction:
I expect the Arizona Diamondbacks to come out strong on Opening Day and strike first in the win column.
Collmenter will earn his first quality start of the season as he tosses six innings and gives up two runs on five hits while striking out six batters.
Goldschmidt will get on Bumgarner early-and-often as he will go three-for-three against the lefty with two doubles and a pair of RBI.
Jake Lamb will hit the first home run of the new year for Arizona with a towering bomb out by the pool area.
Prediction: Diamondbacks 6, Giants 2.
