The <strong>Diamondbacks<\/strong> have won four of the six head-to-head meetings between the two teams this season. However, the two sides are an even betting favorite for Monday\u2019s game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <strong>Diamondbacks<\/strong> hit a rough patch for most of May, losing 15 of 17 at one point, dropping them back to .500. However, Arizona has managed to respond over the past week, winning five of their last six games. Of course, those wins have come against the Reds and <strong>Marlins<\/strong>, and they now face a tougher challenge when they visit the Giants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>San Francisco<\/strong> also endured a swoon at the end of May, although one that wasn\u2019t quite as dramatic as Arizona\u2019s. The Giants have started to right the ship, sweeping the Phillies over the weekend to pull within one game of .500. Despite the losing record, they are just 2.5 games behind the Diamondbacks in the NL West.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>\u00a0 <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">The Arizona Diamondbacks are -115 over the San Francisco Giants on Monday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"another-godley-effort\"><strong>Another Godley Effort<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Zack Godley<\/strong> will start for the <strong>Diamondbacks<\/strong> on Monday. When he faced the Giants in April, he tossed seven shutout innings, allowing just four hits while striking out nine. However, his performances since then have been a little more uneven. He picked up a win in his last time out to break a string of five straight starts without a victory. On the season, he\u2019s just 5-4 with a 4.38 ERA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite Godley\u2019s success the last time he faced the Giants, hitters like <strong>Andrew<\/strong> <strong>McCutchen<\/strong>, Hunter Pence, and Buster Posey all have good career numbers against him. McCutchen, Posey, and Evan Longoria are all red hot right now, so San Francisco\u2019s lineup could present some challenges for Godley.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"keep-the-ball-rolling\"><strong>Keep the Ball Rolling<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During their weekend sweep of the <strong>Phillies<\/strong>, San Francisco pitching allowed just one run. It\u2019s now up to Derek Holland to keep that going. The lefty hasn\u2019t been overly impressive this season, going 3-6 with a 4.94 ERA. But he\u2019s been a viable back-end starter and actually had his best start of the season against the <strong>Diamondbacks<\/strong> back in April. In that outing, Holland allowed two runs over six innings while striking out eight, despite taking the loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After that outing, the hitters on <strong>Arizona\u2019s<\/strong> roster are a combined 8 for 51 (.157) against Holland in their careers. The Diamondbacks are also missing A.J. Pollock and Steven Souza, making it difficult to find an Arizona hitter who\u2019s having a good year outside of David Peralta. That being said, <strong>Paul<\/strong> <strong>Goldschmidt<\/strong> is finally showing signs of turning it around while Ketel Marte is hitting .421 over his last seven games, giving the Diamondbacks a spark during their winning streak.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pick-em\"><strong>Pick \u2018Em<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The betting line on this game is even for good reason. Both teams enter coming off a sweep, so each has positive momentum. However, <strong>Godley<\/strong> is more likely to keep it going for his team than Holland. The Giants aren\u2019t likely to get more than five innings from Holland, while the <strong>San Francisco<\/strong> bullpen is one of the worst in the National League. The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, have the best bullpen ERA in the National League. That\u2019s enough of an advantage to lean toward Arizona.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Take the Arizona Diamondbacks -115 over the San Francisco Giants on Monday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants will mix it up on Monday in Major League Baseball action.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
