They enter this game with a 45-30 record overall and have a road record of 22-12. This is the series opener of a 3-game series with the Giants on Friday with their 1-off game against the Washington Nationals still to be played on Thursday. Their offense ranks 5th in the MLB with a .770 OPS. Tommy Henry is their starting pitcher on Thursday while Zach Davies is making his start in this game on Friday.

The Giants are entering this game on a 10 game winning streak and completed the sweep 3-0 in their 3-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in their last series. They enter this game with a 42-32 record overall and have a home record of 21-17. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Diamondbacks on Friday with the series finale of their series against the San Diego Padres still to be played on Thursday. Their offense ranks 8th in the MLB with a .752 OPS. Alex Wood is their starting pitcher on Thursday while Logan Webb is making his start in this game on Friday. He is 6-6 with a 3.11 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 5 strikeouts on 8 hits through 7 innings played against the LA Dodgers.

The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have been rolling lately as their offense is hot and they have been on a huge win streak which has helped them climb the standings putting them in 2nd place in the NL West. This is a big series for them as they are only a few games behind the Diamondbacks who lead the NL West but the Giants could have control of the division by the end of this series. The D-Backs have also been really hot themselves all season with one of the best offenses in the league too, but their pitching hasn't been great in a lot of their games and that will be a problem with this hot Giants offense. Davies is also on the mound here and he gave up 8 runs in his last start for the D-Backs, not pitching well at all lately. This hot Giants offense will definitely get after him for some runs here while Webb keeps them in this game as he is starting for the Giants and has been great all year. Webb will keep this D-Backs lineup at bay while the Giants get after the poor pitching of the D-Backs at home here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to win this game.

“I feel like there are just some of those guys in your career that just see you well. He’s one of those guys. He’s been a thorn in our side as an organization going back to when he was in Colorado. He made a good swing today. I felt like I made a pretty solid pitch.” - Zac Gallen after their win against the Brewers in their game on Wednesday.

“It was a definite momentum shift. Obviously we came out on the good end of it. If I was on the other side, I’d probably find something to be upset about. But under the circumstances I’m good with it.” - Gabe Kapler after his team’s win against the Padres in their game on Wednesday.
