Our Giants vs. Diamondbacks prediction is the Diamondbacks Money Line (-214).
The Giants are playing out the remainder of the season while the Diamondbacks are battling the Mets and Braves for the final two Wild Card spots.
They are 87-71, one-half game behind the Mets and one-half game ahead of the Braves. Losers of three straight including Sunday’s game against the Brewers in which they blew an 8-0 lead, they are in a precarious position as they try to make the postseason.

Giants vs. Diamondbacks: Head-To-Head Stats
The Giants and Diamondbacks have split their 12 games in 2024. However, the Giants (79-79) are out of playoff contention. Their sole team motivation is to finish above .500. They have won the first two games of this series in Arizona and have played hard and well in doing so.
Before Betting
The Diamondbacks are facing a tough road. With a significant chance that the Mets and Braves will be unable to play the final two games of their series in Atlanta due to poor weather, they will face great uncertainty regarding their competitors for the last two Wild Card spots.
They will play the Padres in a three-game series starting Friday. The Padres are battling the Dodgers for the NL West crown. This is relevant because if the Padres beat the Dodgers on Wednesday, only one game will separate the two teams, meaning the Padres will go all out to win against the Diamondbacks this weekend.
Mason Black starts for the Giants. The 24-year-old rookie is vying for a spot in the Giants rotation in 2025. He has never faced the Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks will counter with veteran Zac Gallen. With three top-10 finishes in the NL Cy Young Award voting, he is their most reliable starter. Giants catcher Patrick Bailey has 3 hits in 5 career at-bats with a home run against Gallen. Outfielder Michael Conforto is 5 for 21 with a home run against him and has been scorching hot overall with 4 home runs in the last week.
Giants vs. Diamondbacks Prediction
Although the Diamondbacks have looked as though they are collapsing, they have a favorable pitching matchup with Gallen going against the rookie Black. They’re desperate and should salvage the final game of this series as they prepare to face the Padres and fight for their playoff lives.
