Giants vs. Diamondbacks Odds & Betting Predictions - September 25, 2024

Follow On X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Logan Webb has been reliable for the Giants this season, but his performance on the road has been notably weaker. His 4.36 road ERA and opponents' .280 average away from home make him vulnerable in this matchup. While Webb has been strong under the lights, his recent form is concerning. In September, his ERA has ballooned to 6.43, with opponents hitting .330 against him. Despite maintaining a high strikeout rate, his inability to keep runners off base is troubling, especially against a Diamondbacks offense that has consistently performed against right-handed pitching, hitting .249 overall and .259 at home. The Giants' offense has been a weak spot all season, ranking in the bottom 10 in overall batting average. Their struggles are even more pronounced on the road, where they hit just .225 against right-handed pitchers. This lack of offensive firepower is problematic, particularly with Webb's vulnerability on the mound. San Francisco's inconsistency at the plate should allow Arizona to capitalize, especially considering the Giants' weak away performance. On the other hand, Arizona is sending Brandon Pfaadt to the mound, who has shown improvement in his recent outings. In his last two starts against the Giants, Pfaadt allowed only two runs combined, including a dominant seven-inning performance where he gave up just one run on two hits while striking out seven. His recent form and familiarity with the Giants' lineup should give the Diamondbacks a strong edge, as he has proven he can effectively limit their offensive production. Arizona’s offense is a force to be reckoned with, as they boast the highest run average in baseball at 5.52 runs per game and rank second in overall batting average. In September, their offense has been red-hot, hitting above .280 and extending hits at an elite rate. Additionally, the Diamondbacks excel in discipline at the plate, ranking in the top 10 in both walks and strikeouts per game, which should further pressure Webb, who has been struggling with command recently. While both bullpens are nearly identical in performance, with San Francisco holding a slight edge with a 3.14 ERA compared to Arizona's 3.30 ERA, the Diamondbacks' superior offense and Pfaadt’s recent dominance against the Giants give Arizona the clear edge in this matchup. With the Giants' offensive struggles and Webb's shaky September, Arizona’s hot bats should be able to secure a home victory.
