Giants vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Dbacks won their previous series against the Giants this season in San Francisco by 2-1 wins and are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings. The Giants are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Arizona and over is 7-2-1 in their last 10 meetings.
In this Giants vs Diamondbacks Prediction, the Giants are coming as 155 road favorites. The Giants have a better overall record, but both teams have exactly 20 home/away wins this season. Both teams are in terrible form lately, as the Dbacks got swept by the Marlins and the Giants lost a series to the White Sox. Nelson has been great at home for the Dbacks with a 2.25 home ERA, and has been red-hot lately, with just 2 earned runs in 15.2 innings pitched in his last 3 starts.
Webb has been weaker on the road for the Giants, with a 3.75 road ERA. The Dbacks have a better offense, and I like them to keep this one close before their inferior bullpen checks in. Take the Arizona Diamondbacks on the first 5 innings at +0.5 runs.
