San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I'm not running to the window to lay juice with the Arizona Diamondbacks or Blake Walston who still has a small sample size. However, the San Francisco Giants are coming off a rough week and things aren't going to improve until their offense gets rolling. It's not like Kyle Harrison is lighting the world on fire. There's much better options out there for Tuesday's MLB card. Because of home field, I'd lean toward the Diamondbacks, but I'd be on other games before this one.
