San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The San Francisco Giants are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and Blake Snell is on the hill. Snell has been one of the best pitchers in baseball over the last couple of months, and he’s done his best work at home. Merrill Kelly is far and away less trustworthy, especially with his numbers on the road. With all that said, the Diamondbacks are still the better team overall, and they’re still in the thick of the playoff/division race. There’s value with the Diamondbacks and the plus money. I’ll take it.
