This isn't meant to be anything really analytical (is that a word?), but I just looked at the remaining schedules for both teams, and then adjusted the winning percentages for each team they face against how often they face them. I know I'm going to get the weighing wrong, so please correct any mistakes.
Number of games left, team, team WP%. The adjusted number percentage at the bottom is pretty much like the winning percentage for a hypothetical team if you played all your remaining games against them (though WP% doesn't fully accurately exhibit team talent, it's good enough I guess). Though to be honest, when I was calculating that it felt like it was a mathematical fallacy. But I get points for trying. The lower the number, the easier the schedule.
giants 44 games left (21 games at home, 23 on the road)
8 padres (.441)
7 rockies (.466)
7 astros (.325)
6 dodgers (.448)
6 dbacks (.547)
4 braves (.585)
3 cubs (.427)
3 marlins (.470)
Adjusted: 45.61%
dbacks 45 games left (23 games at home, 22 on the road)
10 padres (.441)
6 giants (.542)
6 rockies (.466)
6 dodgers (.448)
4 nationals (.483)
3 mets (.500)
3 phillies (.658)
3 braves (.585)
3 pirates (.483)
1 astros (.325)
Adjusted: 49.07%
Giants are going to have easier opponents from here on out, which doesn't sound good, but those six games head to head are still very crucial.
