Giants vs Diamondbacks Prediction

The Diamondbacks have won their last 8 meetings against the Giants, having won their last five meetings in Arizona.

In this Giants vs Diamondbacks Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -120 home favorites. I don’t trust either pitcher in this matchup, as they both have a combined 11.09 ERA and Gallen has been steadily terrible for the Dbacks, having given up 4+ runs in five of his last six starts. McDonald has also been in poor form for the Giants, with 3+ runs in four of his last five starts, so I expect a high-scoring affair. Take the over 9.5 in this one.
