The Giants are entering this game off of a win in their last game and won their 4-game series against the San Diego Padres 3-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 43-33 record overall and have a home record of 22-18. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Diamondbacks on Sunday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Saturday. Their offense ranks 9th in the MLB with a .748 OPS. Rookie pitcher Ryan Walker is their starting pitcher on Saturday while Anthony DeSclafani is making his start in this game on Sunday. He is 4-6 with a 4.38 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 1 homer, and 1 BB with 6 strikeouts on 8 hits through 5 innings played against the San Diego Padres.

The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have been really hot in their games lately as they were just on a huge winning streak before it was ended by the Padres but their pitching has been good and their offense has been great on this run. They are going to be really focused in this home series too as the Diamondbacks have also been hot lately and are leading the NL West with the best record right now too. The Giants are trying to chase down the D-Backs for 1st place in the division so they will be really focused in this home series with a chance to cut down on the gap between them and the Giants do have the better pitching matchup in this game too. The Giants are going with DeSclafani here and he hasn't been a stud this season but he has been consistent enough in his starts that he hasn't been giving up a ton of runs. He also has the advantage of being at home here while the D-Backs are going with Nelson in this game and he has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all season. Nelson isn't going to pitch well on the road here with how hot the Giants offense has been lately and even though the D-Backs do have a really good offense themselves, they will struggle to put up runs on DeSclafani and the Giants bullpen which gives them the edge in this game at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to win this game.

“It was a little bit abnormal for us. We talk about being adaptable here and adjusting so when that trip got knifed in there we knew where it was on the schedule, we knew it was right before this trip. I was proud of our guys for not overlooking it because it would have been easy as kind of a trap game to just throw in the towel and get our butts kicked.” - Torey Lovullo after his team’s loss against the Giants in their game on Friday.

“It was awesome. He's just Brandon Crawford doing Brandon Crawford things. It amazes me every time he goes out there and plays defense.” - Logan Webb after their win against the Diamondbacks in their game on Friday.
