<p>Friday's baseball betting market opened San Francisco and Webb at around -180 over Arizona and Davies, with an over/under of 8.5 runs. Both figures were holding steady in the early betting action.</p>
<h2>Diamondbacks-Giants Betting Preview </h2>
<p>Arizona just won a make-up game at Washington Thursday 5-3. Just before that, the Diamondbacks took two of three games at Milwaukee, and just before that, they took two of three at home from Cleveland. So Arizona is 2-0 over its last two series and 5-2 over its last seven games.</p>
<p>At 46-30 overall, the D-Backs lead the NL West by 3.5 games over second-place San Francisco.</p>
<p>The Giants, meanwhile, just took three of four games at home from San Diego, missing out on the sweep by losing Thursday's series finale 10-0. Just before that, San Francisco swept three games from the Dodgers in LA, and just before that, they swept three games in St. Louis.</p>
<p>So the Giants are 3-0 over their last three series and 10-1 over their last 11 games.</p>
<p>At 42-33 overall, San Francisco owns the fourth-best record in the National League.</p>
<p>This series is the second meeting between these divisional rivals this season; six weeks ago, the D-Backs took three of four games from the Giants at Chase Field.</p>
<h2>Friday's Pitching Match-Up</h2>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/256128&quot; title="Logan Webb Pitching Game Stats">Webb</a> is a solid 11/15 on quality starts this season and 10 for his last 11. Last Sunday, he held the Dodgers to two runs and eight hits through seven innings of a 7-3 San Francisco victory. And just before that, he held the Cardinals to three runs through seven frames of a 4-3 Giants win.</p>
<p>San Francisco is only 7-8 with Webb this season, but that may be as many as four games worse than they should be, based on his performances.</p>
<p>Over three career appearances against Arizona, two last season and one earlier this season, Webb allowed ten runs - eight earned - and 19 hits through 18 innings. The Giants lost all three of those games.</p>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/70842&quot; title="Zach Davies Pitching Game Logs">Davies</a> is just 1/7 on quality starts this year and a bad 0 for his last two. Last Sunday, he gave up eight ER and nine hits through 3 2/3 innings of a 12-3 Diamondbacks loss to the Indians. And just before that, he gave up four ER through only three innings of a 15-3 Arizona loss to Philadelphia.</p>
<p>The D-Backs are 4-3 with Davies this season, but that's probably a game better than they should be, based on what he's done.</p>
<p>Over his last two starts against San Francisco, both last season, Davies held the Giants to two runs and seven hits through 10 innings. Arizona split those two games.</p>
