Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants. The MLB pick for this game is the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Giants played well, but the reality remains that they are a squad that outperformed expectations this season.
Before Tuesday’s trade deadline, San Francisco was exploring prospective acquisitions, but no significant deals were made as of this writing. Gallen had trouble lately, going 1-3 in his past five starts dating back to the month of July.
Before weakening in July, the Diamondbacks had a great first three months. However, Wood doesn’t offer much depth, and the Giants’ bullpen is worn out from two games that went into extra innings over the weekend.
The Arizona Diamondbacks will win to a predicted score of 6-2.
