San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 5/27/26, 11:49 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 5/27/26 at 6:20 PM in MLB Picks

The Giants have recently been enjoying the fruits of finally having their third baseman, Rafael Devers, hot at the plate; the Dominican was instrumental in San Francisco taking the series against the White Sox. The problem is that now the Diamondbacks came to the Bay Area to extinguish the Giants' excellent run; Arizona took the first two games of the series.

In Game 1, the D-backs had their Dominican, Ketel Marte, on fire, collecting four hits that day, including an RBI double, and following him in the lineup, Carroll went 2-for-5. The D-backs' second baseman is batting a healthy .275 average, which he has accompanied with nine home runs; the speedy Carroll is already batting over .300 and leads MLB in triples with eight.

Although the Giants had dominated Arizona at home since 2020, that didn't happen this time. Despite Schmitt's home run and RBI single, the D-backs also took an early lead in Game 2; Marte hit his ninth home run of the year in that game, and veteran Venezuelan Ildemaro Vargas, another of the remarkable stories of the 2016 season, drove in two runs. At 34 years old, Vargas is having the most productive season of his major league career with the D-backs.
