We like the Arizona Diamondbacks for a number of reasons. Here are some of the most important ones.

Off back to back losses and having blown an 8-run lead on Sunday, the Diamondbacks really need to win. They have now fallen behind the Mets in the Wild Card race and can't afford to keep losing.

Having gone to the World Series last season, the Diamondbacks are used to playing these type of big games and tend to thrive in these moments.

Pfaadt is off a dominant outing. He struck out a career-best 12 in Thursday's victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. He allowed only two hits and one run and didn't walk a single batter through seven innings.

Pfaadt has a 1.50 ERA against the Giants.

Webb has a 6.43 ERA in September. Webb is also 0-2 his last 3 road starts vs. the Diamondbacks. Arizona was 3-0 in those games.

Arizona's catcher Gabriel Moreno (adductor) didn't play yesterday but he's expected back today.

It all adds up the Diamondbacks becoming our NL West Game Of The Month. They will cool off the Giants today!
