The Arizona Diamondbacks (78-61) enter this matchup with a lot on the line. With a strong mix of young talent and veteran leadership, they have been competitive throughout the season. Leading the charge offensively is Ketel Marte, whose ability to get on base and drive in runs has been a key factor in Arizona’s success. Ketel Marte has been impressive with a .298 batting average and 30 home runs on the season. Marte is complemented by another sensational player, Corbin Carroll, who has quickly made a name for himself with his power and speed. Carroll has 19 home runs and 58 stolen bases. On the mound will be Merrill Kelly, who has been decent, climbing to a 4-0 record despite a 4.30 ERA.

On the other side, the San Francisco Giants (68-71) are looking to punch their way back into playoff contention. The Giants have relied on a balanced approach, with contributions from up and down their lineup. Matt Chapman has been a consistent force at the plate, providing 22 home runs and 69 RBIs. Joining him is Michael Conforto, whose power and ability to get on base have been vital to the Giants’ offensive output, leading to 55 RBIs. On the mound, the Giants will roll out their ace, Blake Snell, who has been battling injuries, but has secured a 3.56 ERA.

The Diamondbacks have been great down the stretch, and are showing a lot of the same form that saw them in the World Series a season ago. Arizona will be hungry to get back and finish what they started when October rolls around. For now, the Diamondbacks have a far superior offense, and Blake Snell has not been the dominant pitcher he used to be for the Giants. We like Arizona to win. Prediction: Diamondbacks win 6-3.
