Giants vs Diamondbacks MLB Player Prop Picks (Jul 2)

The San Francisco Giants (45–41) aim to break a four-game losing streak against the Arizona Diamondbacks (43–42), who have won the first two games of this series. The total is set at 8.5 runs. San Francisco sends rookie RHP Landen Roupp (6–5, 3.43 ERA) to the mound, while Arizona counters with veteran RHP Merrill Kelly (7–4, 3.49 ERA) in a classic matchup of control vs. contact.

• The Diamondbacks prevailed 8–2 in Game 2 thanks to four home runs and a dominant outing from Zac Gallen: 7 IP, 1 ER, 10 K, no walks.
• Merrill Kelly has a solid home track record (3 straight wins vs. Giants) and averages 9.5 K/9 across his starts.
• Landen Roupp has been prone to walks (1.44 WHIP) and hard contact, especially on the road, despite a respectable 3.43 ERA.

San Francisco Giants Player Prop Pick: Landen Roupp

The Giants’ lineup is slumping—45–41 but riding a four-game skid. Rookie Roupp provides rotation depth but struggles with walks and hard-hit balls. Offense relies on Rafael Devers and Heliot Ramos for power and run creation.

• Roupp sports a 1.44 WHIP and has walked 3+ batters in 8 of his 16 starts.
• Diamondbacks work deep counts and are aggressive at the plate, drawing more walks.
• Even a 5-inning start risks at least four walks given his control tendencies.

Arizona Diamondbacks Player Prop Pick: Merrill Kelly

Arizona is back on track (43–42) after snapping a four-game skid. Power hitting—126 homers to date—is complemented by dependable pitching depth, including Kelly and Gallen, backed by rookies showing promise.

• Kelly averages about 9.5 K/9 and hit double-digit strikeouts in three of his last five starts.
• Giants strike out frequently (732 Ks) and struggle with high-spin fastballs.
• A 6-inning quality start gives him ample room to reach 7+ K’s.
