Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

The Diamondbacks will send Merrill Kelly to the mound, looking to sweep the San Francisco Giants in a three-game series. Kelly has been very good for the Diamondbacks, holding a 7-5 record with a 3.46 ERA on the season. In the last 30 days, he's been about on par, with an xFIP of 4.06.

He's not earning a ton of strikeouts in the last 30 days but he's limiting walks, earning plenty of ground balls, and limiting line drives. That's going to help.

He'll take on a Giants lineup that has a .162 ISO and a wOBA of .307 against righties in the last 30 days. San Francisco has struck out 23.4% of the time against righties with this lineup and has just two players holding a wOBA of at least .330 against righties.

The Giants are in a serious slump right now.

On the other hand, it'll be Alex Cobb on the mound for the Giants. He's 3-3 with a 4.59 ERA in the last 30 days. However, he's been much better than ERA recently, holding an xFIP of 3.80 in the last 30 days.

Like Kelly, Cobb isn't earning a whole lot of strikeouts, but he's limiting walks and earning plenty of ground balls. Cobb is a ground ball pitcher that is usually unlucky at times, with balls getting through the infield on the ground. But recently, he has had a BABIP of .256 in the last 30 days. Things are turning in his favor.

The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, have had a .135 ISO and wOBA of .278 against righties in the last 30 days with their projected lineup. Arizona has also hit just 19% of line drives and has six players hitting at least 43% of ground balls against righties.

I don't trust either lineup in tonight's game. I'll gladly take the Under 8.5 in this one.
