Who Wins?

Arizona is 3-7 SU in their last 10 games played. The Diamondbacks are 0-3 SU in their last three games played on the road. San Francisco is 5-5 SU in their last 10 games played. The Giants are 3-4 SU in their last seven games played at home. Head to head, the Giants are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games against the Diamondbacks. San Francisco is also 6-4 SU in their last 10 home games against Arizona.

The Diamondbacks are 4-1 SU in Robbie Ray’s last five starts and 7-3 SU in his last 10 starts on the road. Ray is 5-3 SU in his last 8 starts against the Giants and 4-1 SU in five starts in San Francisco. The Giants are 3-4 in the last seven starts of Pomeranz, 2-4 in his last six home starts, 2-4 in his six starts against Arizona and 0-2 in his two home starts against the Diamondbacks.

Arizona is 10-10 SU in 20 games as betting favorites this season. The Diamondbacks are 16-15 in 31 games played against a left-handed pitcher. San Francisco is 13-21 in 34 games as betting underdogs this season. The Giants are 6-10 SU in 16 games against a left-handed starting pitcher this season.

The Diamondbacks are also 6-0 SU in their last six games after an off-day. Arizona is also 0-5 SU in their last five games against the National League. The Giants are 2-8 SU in their last 10 Friday games and 0-4 SU during Game 1 of a series. The Giants play hard and they compete for each game but they just could seem to get the wins. It’s hard to back Pomeranz who has allowed 22 earned runs and 18 walks in 35 innings. Ray has been good this season with just 3 earned runs in his last 14.2 innings pitched. It’s tough for me to go with the Giants because their offense has been inconsistent and they lack clutch hitting. Prediction: Arizona Diamondbacks

Other Bets To Make

The Diamondbacks are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games played. Arizona is 1-2 ATS in their last three games on the road. The Giants are also 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games played. San Francisco is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games played at home.

Seven out of the last 10 games between these two teams were decided by more than two runs. Three out of Arizona’s last four games, all losses, were decided by just one run. Four out of the Giants’ last five wins have come by just one run each. Neither offense has looked good recently and I expect a close game. Arizona won’t score much but Ray is going to stop the Giants’ offense here. Prediction: Diamondbacks -1.5

The total has gone under in seven out of the last 10 games played by the Diamondbacks. Arizona has seen the total go under in each of their last three games on the road. The Giants have seen the over and under split 5-5 in their last 10 games played. The over is 4-3 in San Francisco’s last seven games played at home.  Head to head, the under is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams. The under is also 4-1 in their last five head to head meetings in San Francisco.

The under is 5-4 in Ray’s last 9 starts, 6-3 in his last 9 road starts and 5-2 in Ray’s last seven starts against the Giants.  Arizona has seen the total go under in three of Ray’s four starts in San Francisco. The under is 7-3 in Pomeranz’ last 10 starts and 3-1 in his last four home starts. The over is 4-2 in Pomeranz’ six starts against the Diamondbacks. Both offenses haven’t been clicking lately and I like how Ray has been pitching as of late and should have no problem shutting down San Francisco’s offense. Prediction: Under 7.5
