The battle for NL West supremacy gets started tonight with the Giants taking on the Diamondbacks. After a sweep at the hands of the Reds the lead has shrunk to just two games and things are not very comfortable in the division anymore.

Its time for another series and another series projection, the Giants are sending out their best pitchers with the Diamondbacks matching with their top 2 guys and their new acquisition. I feel better with these pitchers going but I am still worried about this offense.

	Giants	Diamondbacks
Game 1	52%	48%
Game 2	47%	53%
Game 3	45%	55%
Sweep	10.92%	14.11%
2 out 3	35.88%	39.09%
1 out 3	39.09%	35.88%
0 out 3	14.11%	10.92%
Win Series	47%	53%
Lose Series	53%	47%

I am getting the feeling that my projection system really doesn't like the Giants and their no offense ways because since I built it this is the 3rd straight series that the Giants according to this should be expected to be underdogs.

Maybe I need to add some sort of "magic" boost for the Giants, either that or they need to figure out a way to score more runs.
