Diamondbacks vs Giants Prediction
I’m on the Giants here. I get the case to be made for Arizona at home, and in fairness, Zac Gallen’s been playing some solid baseball for a lot of the last month before getting hit hard in his last start. The problem is the Giants are still hitting right-handed pitching fairly well, and side-by-side, I feel like I can trust San Francisco’s bullpen a heck of a lot more in this matchup. All in all, I think the Giants draw first blood in a really important series here, so give me the Giants.
