The Arizona Diamondbacks (10-11) look to maintain momentum against the San Francisco Giants (9-12) in game three of their four-game series on Saturday, April 20, at 4:05 PM ET at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California. The Diamondbacks are favored to find success with a moneyline at -120.

 

The Diamondbacks have gone 2-3 in their last five games and are coming off an outstanding performance in game two against the Giants. This was a 17-1 blowout, with five runs scored up until the fifth inning. Then, their offense opened up in the seventh when Blaze Alexander hit a grand slam.

Zac Gallen (3-0) will look for another chance at victory. He is coming in with solid numbers, such as an ERA of 1.64 and a WHIP of 1.14 in 22.0 innings pitched. If he stays strong for the first half of this game, they have an excellent opportunity to succeed.

Their offense has shined through Ketel Marte, who leads with five home runs and has a batting average of .345. He also contributes key stats that could push them to victory, with an in-base percentage at .392 and slugging at .598.

The Giants ended their two-game winning streak after the blowout loss in game two. Before that disaster defeat, they took care of business in game one with a 5-0 shutout.

Kyle Harrison (2-1) will have a challenging task to keep the Diamondbacks from having positive momentum. 

Several players lead them in a variety of offensive categories, which shows they are balanced and can attack from any position. Nick Ahmed leads their batting average with .290, while Michael Conforto leads with 14 RBIs.

The Giants are hitting .241 at the plate, which is solid if they can maintain consistency. However, they are allowing their opponents to average .265, which will likely cause problems here against the red-hot Diamondbacks.
