The Giants are entering this series on a 2 game winning streak and won their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 58-49 record overall and have a home record of 30-24. This is the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Tuesday. They also lost the 1st game of this series on Monday. Their offense ranks 21st in the MLB with a .713 OPS. Alex Cobb is their starting pitcher on Tuesday while Logan Webb is making his start in this game on Wednesday. He is 8-9 with a 3.49 ERA this season. His team lost 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 0 BB with 4 strikeouts on 6 hits through 7.1 innings played against the Boston Red Sox.

The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have been starting to roll again in their games lately as they have overtaken the Diamondbacks for 2nd place in the division and will be trying to keep their slim lead over them in this series. The Diamondbacks were the team that was leading the NL West for most of the season but lately they have been slipping down the division as they find themselves in 3rd place now. They have leaned a lot on their good offense this season but lately they haven't been scoring a ton of runs in their games and their pitching hasn't been good enough to keep them in a lot of games. They also have no idea who is even going to start in this game as they have Cecconi listed to make his MLB debut but that could also change by the time this game starts and either way the D-Backs are going to be left really thin for pitching in this game. The Giants will be able to take advantage of any scoring opportunities they get here since their offense has also been really good lately and they have their ace Webb on the mound here. Webb has been a really reliable starter for them all season and he will continue to shut down teams with how good he has been lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to win this game.
