Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 6, Giants 5
Moneyline
BET DIAMONDBACKS (+105).
Arizona is 13-3 in its last 16 contests after losing the 1st 2 games of a series and should avoid the sweep Sunday. The Diamondbacks have not been swept in a series all season and should bounce back after losing by 1 run Saturday.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
Arizona +1.5 (-175) should hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the Diamondbacks should win straight up. Bet the ML and/or the total instead.

Over/Under
BET OVER 9 (-115).
The Over is 5-2-1 in Arizona’s last 8 games and 5-1 in its last 6 vs. teams with a winning record.
The Over has hit in San Francisco’s last 6 games vs. teams that are above .500 and should cash again Sunday with both teams sending out inconsistent starters.
