San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction: The Giants to get a win

Oracle Park will play host to the first game of a Major League Baseball series on Thursday, which will feature an encounter between the San Francisco Giants and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The San Francisco Giants are ranked first in the league for the number of walks that they have given up this season (278), while the Arizona Diamondbacks are currently ranked second in the league for the number of triples that they have hit this season (26).

The Giants have won six of their previous eight games and are looking to extend their winning streak to three games in a row. At the moment, the San Francisco Giants are in the best position to win a wild card spot in the National League. The Giants pitching staff currently ranks eighth in earned run average (3.89), fourth in walks plus hits per inning pitched (1.23), and fifteenth in quality starts (38). The Giants' offence ranks 17th in terms of runs scored per game (4.47), 19th in terms of batting average (.241), and 17th in terms of home runs (124). JD Davis has a team-high 88 hits and has driven in 54 runs for the Giants, while Thairo Estrada and LaMonte Wade Jr. have combined for 158 hits and have scored 60 runs.

Since the all-star break, the Diamondbacks have a record of 5-13, and they have dropped five of their past seven games total. The Diamondbacks are currently not in the top three teams in the battle for the wild card. The Arizona Diamondbacks pitching staff currently ranks 12th in the National League in terms of quality starts (40), and they have the 24th best earned run average (4.63). The Arizona Diamondbacks rank 10th in runs scored per game (4.85), 9th in batting average (.256), and 18th in home runs with 123. While Ketel Marte leads the Diamondbacks in hits and runs batted in with 115 and 57, respectively, Corbin Carroll and Christian Walker have combined for 205 hits and 126 runs batted in. This is Brandon Pfaadt's turn to pitch. So far this season, he has a record of 0-4 with an 8.20 earned run average and 30 strikeouts. Pfaadt will be facing the Giants for the second time in his professional career.

Since the all-star break, the Diamondbacks have been nothing short of an absolute chaos and there is simply no way to support them with any degree of self-assurance. In point of fact, when it comes to teams who have been profitable over the course of the past 30 days, the Diamondbacks rank dead last. Regardless of who the Giants choose to start on the mound, I'm going to put my money on them to win this one and make it seven victories in a row out of their last nine contests.
