Giants vs Diamondbacks Prediction & Pick

Both the Giants and Diamondbacks are expected to be in the running for a National League wild card spot this season, making this a tough divisional game to predict. There is one side that enters with a distinct advantage in the starting pitching competition, though, and that would be San Francisco.

The Giants are handing the ball to Logan Webb on Sunday, who has logged a solid 3.46 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across eight starts this season. More importantly, Webb has dominated the Diamondbacks in his career. He owns a 3-2 record to go along with a 2.65 ERA in six career starts against Arizona.

The Diamondbacks are countering a 24-year-old making his third career start in Prandon Pfaadt. Pfaadt has struggled since his promotion, giving up 13 earned runs on 16 hits and 3 walks in only 9.2 innings of work. I'll fade Arizona until the highly-praised prospect figures out what is going wrong.

Final Score Prediction: Giants: 6 | Diamondbacks: 4

Giants vs Diamondbacks Best Bet

I mentioned it above, but it's worth mentioning again here. Pfaadt has allowed at least 6 runs in each of his first two starts and is not getting batters to whiff on his pitches. That bodes well for a Giants offense that has tallied at least 5 runs in three of its last four contests. Even in the event that Pfaadt finds his rhythm, the Diamondbacks still only rank 26th in terms of bullpen ERA this season (4.69).

Bet: San Francisco Giants Over 4.5 Runs (-104)
