Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
Game 1 Prediction: I’m looking at the over in game 1. Even without knowing the Giants starter, Kelly is on the mound, and he’s allowed 28 hits and 21 runs in his last 25.1 innings. On the road through 75.2 innings, Kelly has a 4.76 ERA and a .270 allowed batting average. Throw in a quick turnaround and a big park, we should see some offense. Give me the over.Game 2 Prediction: Bratt has struggled on the road this season, but he’s been good overall lately, allowing 14 hits and 8 runs in his last 19 innings. Bratt has allowed 3 or fewer earned runs in 8 of his 9 appearances this season. The Diamondbacks are in the thick of the playoff race while the Giants often look like a team that’s checked out mentally. The Diamondbacks need to take advantage of a spot like this. I’ll roll with the snakes on the road.
