Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the Giants here. It’s not often I’m going to back the Giants in their current form as this offense has been wildly inconsistent this season. However, Landen Roupp’s still been one of the better options in this Giants’ rotation, and I don’t trust Jose Cabrera for Arizona in this matchup. I’ll back the Giants in this one.
