The current betting odds have the Diamondbacks listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Diamondbacks have been really good all season but lately they have been slipping down the standings as they haven't been playing great. They are going to be looking to get back on track here and they do have a really good pitching matchup in this game. They have Gallen starting here and he has been their ace all season since he hasn't been giving up many runs at all. He is coming off a bad start in his last one and has been giving up quite a few runs lately but he will be looking to bounce back here and the Diamondbacks have also been a better road team this season so they will offer him plenty of run support here. The Giants have Cobb starting in this game and he has also been really good in his starts but the Diamondbacks have the better offense and the better pitching matchup in this game, they will be able to edge the Giants out here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Diamondbacks to win this game.
