Diamondbacks vs. Giants Betting Prediction
San Francisco will send their left-handed ace, Blake Snell to the mound for this contest. Snell is coming off of a terrific month of August, during which he was named the National League Pitcher of the Month. In 6 August starts, Blake Snell went 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA, a 0.84 WHIP, a 53-16 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and a no-hitter against the Reds on August 2nd.
Snell got roughed up by these Diamondbacks in his third start of the season on April 19th. In that outing, Snell completed 4.2 innings but permitted 5 runs on 9 hits and a walk. He struck out 3 batters in a 17-1 Giants home loss. Blake Snell is pitching much better now than he was back then, so I like him to get a vastly different result against the Diamondbacks this time around. I’m taking the reigning Cy Young Award winner and the Giants at home on the money line on Thursday afternoon.
