The Diamondbacks have lost seven straight games when scoring four or more runs. Pavin Smith leads the Diamondbacks with 66 hits and 22 RBI while Eduardo Escobar and David Peralta have combined for 120 hits and 78 RBI. Caleb Smith gets the ball, and he is 2-2 with a 3.61 ERA and 56 strikeouts this season. Smith is 0-0 with a 6.10 ERA and eight strikeouts in his career against the Giants.

The Giants have lost five of their last seven games when scoring three or less runs. Buster Posey leads the Giants with 57 hits and 26 RBI while Brandon Crawford and Evan Longoria have combined for 93 hits and 74 RBI.

The Diamondbacks are 13-43 in their last 56 road games and 13-38 in their last 51 overall. The Giants are 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 12-5 in their last 17 overall. The over is 4-1 in Diamondbacks last 5 overall. The under is 6-1 in Giants last 7 overall. The Diamondbacks are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings.

The Diamondbacks pitching staff continues to get rocked left and right and they haven’t won a game in over two weeks. The Giants offense is heating up and Kevin Gausman has been dominant this season. There’s only one way to go here, as the Diamondbacks remain fade material until further notice. Give me the Giants and the RL for max betting value.
