San Francisco at Arizona

The San Francisco Giants have slipped some, as they now trail the Dodgers by 7.5 games in the NL West. The Giants just lost two of three to the lowly White Sox. What stands out from that series is that there were just 12 total runs scored in the three games. The Giants have now scored four or fewer runs in eight of their last 12 games. The Diamondbacks are just 15-20 in their previous 35 games, and after being a strong contender, they have slipped to 11 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. They have now lost four straight games, allowing 32 total runs in those four games. I like San Francisco.
