Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants Analysis
The San Francisco Giants travel to the desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first of a three game series. Right hander Jakob Junis toes the rubber for San Francisco, and southpaw Tyler Gilbert takes the bump for Arizona.
The Giants got swept in a four game series at the Dodgers, while the D-Backs took two of three from the Nationals at home. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 EDT / 6:40 PST.
Injuries Becoming Giant Problem For San Francisco
Losing four to LA wasn’t the way San Francisco wanted to resume their season, but that’s what happened. The offense showed up in Thursday’s game with six runs, then tapered off with a combined seven runs in the last three games. Pitching was the big issue as they gave up a combined 25 runs to Big Blue in those four games. Ouch.
Jakob Junis hasn’t pitched a lot this season due to injuries, but has put up some solid numbers. In 50.0 innings, 10 games and seven starts, he’s put up a 3.06 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP with 42 strikeouts.
Home runs have been an issue in recent games, giving up one home run each in three of his last four games, and seven of his last eight outings.
Injuries are becoming a problem again for this club. Evan Longoria (hamstring) and Brandon Crawford (knee) are on the 10-day IL, and Mike Yastrzemski is day-to-day with an undetermined ailment.
Do Diamondbacks Have Faith In Gilbert?
Arizona’s Tyler Gilbert has spent much of this season with the AAA Reno Aces, and after seeing his stats it’s easy to see why. In 11 minor league games, 10 starts and 44.0 innings, he has an ERA of 7.57, a 1.80 WHIP and just 26 strikeouts.
His numbers with the parent club aren’t much better in seven games, six starts and 30.1 innings with a 5.34 ERA, but a respectable 1.25 WHIP.
Although he’s pitched better with Arizona in his last three starts, home runs and walks have been an issue in his minor league outings. He’s given up 18 bombs and 33 walks with both clubs this season – but hasn’t surrendered a home run and just one walk in each of his last three games.
These season-long numbers don’t bode well going against a Giants club with the third most long flies against right handed pitchers this season with 43.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
Although the Giants have a starting pitching edge with Junis over Gilbert, they aren’t a huge favorite. These numbers tell us the books don’t trust Junis or the bottom 10 San Fran bullpen that much. Especially after giving up an average of 6.25 runs per game to the Dodgers last weekend.
Both lineups aren’t the most consistent when it comes to batting average, but they’re in the top 12 for home runs.
Junis has given up one home run in each of his last three starts, Gilbert has a history in the minors of giving up a lot of bombs, and I think we could see some late July fireworks at Chase Field Monday night. That’s why I’ll take over 9 total runs scored.
Prediction: Over 9 Total Runs Scored
