San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction: Unstable Giants could fail

San Francisco has beaten San Diego twice in a row and will now take on another NL West opponent, Arizona. Can the Giants cope with the Diamondbacks as well? There are several betting options at once.

The Giants approached the road series with San Diego on a six-game losing streak in seven games, so facing the Padres, one of the main contenders for the wild-card, was the most important thing Gabe Kapler's team could do. San Francisco gave up the first two meetings, but took the final two (1:2, 3:6, 3:1, 12:0). It was an important success, especially from a psychological point of view.

Alex Cobb will pitch the first game against Arizona, 3-3, with a 4.74 ERA in 12 games this season.

On the eve of the road trip to San Francisco, the team hosted Colorado and took only 1 match out of 4 in this series (3:4, 5:6, 9:2, 2:3). Arizona had a very disappointing encounter and allowed the Rockies to catch up in the standings as both teams are now 38-48 each.

Merrill Kelly will pitch for the Diamondbacks in game one of the series at Oracle Park - 7-5 and a 3.42 ERA in 17 games.

San Francisco is very unstable in this league. So, after their crushing 11:0 win over San Diego, Gabe Kapler's team could very well fall in the first game of the series with Arizona. The Diamondbacks, who failed in their last encounter with Colorado, will surely do their best to prove themselves. We should not forget that Arizona scored at least five points in their first three head-to-head games this season.
