The San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks face off on Sunday in an MLB showdown at Chase Field. The two teams have split the first two games of this series.
The Giants sit with a 74-78 record overall and on Saturday the offense only managed two runs. The Giants' offense has been up and down this season but they are averaging 4.38 runs per game which is 13th in the league. The pitching is ranked 17th, and that will need to be good here. Joc Pederson is having a strong season hitting hitting 22 home runs and driving in 66 RBIs.
On the other side of this matchup is the Diamondbacks who sit with a 71-82 record overall and although it hasn’t been the best season, they have had some big wins like on Saturday night. The Diamondbacks' offense has been fine, but the pitching has let them down. The Diamondbacks are giving up 4.56 runs per game which is 21st in the league. The top offensive player this season has been Christian Walker and he has hit 36 home runs and driven in 88 RBIs.
On the mound for the Diamondbacks will be Drey Jameson who sits with a 2-0 record and an ERA of 1.38.
The under is 4-0 in the Giants last four games during game 3 of a series. The under is 13-3-1 in the Giants last 17 games against a team with a losing record. The under is 9-1-1 in the Giants last 11 games against a right handed starter.
Jameson has been really good so far this season sitting with an ERA of 1.38 and he’s going to lockdown in this game. The Giants offense has been inconsistent all season and they are going to really struggle to score in this game. The Diamondbacks will give Jameson enough run support and they will secure the victory.
