Giants Eye Dramatic Turnaround in High-Stakes Showdown Against Diamondbacks
The Giants are 46-41 for the season, and they sit in third place, very little separates them from being in fourth or second place. I suppose that is a simple thought that you probably would assume with any other third place team. However, the reality is that two games one way or another could put the Giants in a different standing. The Dodgers are really far ahead of everyone so let’s just ignore them. San Francisco has struggled lately, though, dropping four of the past five games. They need a win here to get a series split with the Diamondbacks. Today they send out one of their best weapons in Robbie Ray. Ray has been very good for the year. Ray is 8-3 for the season with a 2.75 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. He has been slightly worse on the road than he has been at home this season, but it isnt’ anything significant. He still has a sub-three ERA on the road. June was his worst month of the season, but he still had three quality starts in five outings, and the other two starts still saw him allow three or fewer earned runs. Diamondbacks hitters have done pretty well against him, going 13 for 44 against Ray.
