I will not back the Giants again this season to win (Toronto West), but they are pretty easy to fade here facing Zac Gallen, who has been masterful at home. SF has been putrid on the road since the break overall and had lost nine straight away before an 11-10 win in Colorado on Sunday in which it nearly blew a nine-run lead. The Snakes found their offense over the weekend with a three-game sweep of the Cubs. Since Aug. 12, the D-backs' 13-4 (.765) home record is second in the majors. Arizona's bullpen, once a weakness, has a 1.99 ERA in its past 13.

Arizona is flying high into the Playoffs as current holders of the second NL Wild Card, They’ve won three straight after sweeping the Cubs. Zac Gallen has been at his best at home this season with Arizona winning 11 of his 14 starts with a 2.18 ERA. I'm on Arizona to win.

The Diamondbacks are coming off a three-game sweep of the Cubs and now send ace Zac Gallen to the hill. Gallen is 11-2 with a 2.18 ERA in 14 home starts this season. He got the win after 7 2/3 strong innings last time he saw the Giants in Arizona. The Giants are 33-42 on the road and starter Alex Cobb has a 5.26 road ERA. The Diamondbacks should cruise.
