San Francisco Giants: Chasing LA in the NL West
Following a slow July start, San Francisco opened the month with a 1-7 record, the Giants have won five straight to pull to within 3.5 games of the Dodgers. The defending World Series Champs swept the hapless Phillies by a combined 27-9 margin and have taken the first two games of this series by a 14-9 count. Giants ace LHP Madison Bumgarner (9-5 ERA 3.33) heads to the hill for the Giants today.
Arizona Diamondbacks: Snakes MLB 2015 season is slowly slipping away
Mirror opposite to the Giants, in that they opened July with a 5-2 record, Arizona was swept in New York by the Mets prior to the All-Star break by a 13-7 combined count. Combine that with their two losses in this series and the Diamondbacks are now 8.5 games out of first in the NL West playoff race. Making his third start of the year, after missing the entire 2014 MLB season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, LHP Patrick Corbin (1-1 ERA 5.40) gets the call for the Diamondbacks.
