San Francisco Giants Face Off Against Diamondbacks

The San Francisco Giants, currently 13th in the National League with a 35-48 record, won their last game 3-2 vs Atlanta Braves on 2026-06-28.

What's at stake for the Giants?

The Giants are on a W2 streak and will face the Arizona Diamondbacks with Tyler Mahle starting.

Mahle has a 1-7 record and a 5.49 ERA, making him a challenging starter for the Giants.

How does the pitching matchup look?

Eduardo Rodriguez, the Diamondbacks' lefty, has been one of the most profitable pitchers for bettors, with a 6-2 record and a 2.27 ERA.

What are the Giants' chances?

The SportsLine Projection Model gives the Giants a 1.5% chance to make the playoffs, which may be generous considering their current standing.

The Giants will likely be sellers at the trade deadline and may look to dump Mahle for something.

Mahle has struggled against the Diamondbacks, with an 0-2 record and an 8.10 ERA in 10.0 innings.

Who to watch on the Diamondbacks?

Ketel Marte is one hit shy of tying Paul Goldschmidt for the second-most hits in franchise history and has a strong record against Mahle.

Marte is 8-for-15 off Mahle with three homers and two doubles.

The Diamondbacks sit three games out of the final NL wild card spot and have a 10.4% shot at making the playoffs.

The Giants' president of baseball operations, Buster Posey, took a risk hiring Tony Vitello as manager, but it hasn't worked out so far.

Vitello is likely safe for the season, but the Giants' performance on the road has been poor, with a 17-26 record.
