Braves at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 5, Braves 3
Moneyline
The GIANTS (-115) have been swept at home only once all season, in a 3-game series to the New York Yankees May 31- June 2. Webb has been stellar over his last 3 outings and Fried has been very hittable over the last month.
Webb has allowed only 2 total runs in his last 3 starts.
The Giants are 35-27 at home this season. They should take the finale.
BET GIANTS (-115).
Run line/Against the spread
Betting the Giants to cover the +1.5 at -210 is a bad bet in terms of value.
But since 10 of the Giants’ last 13 wins have been by at least 2 runs, you should ladder your moneyline bet with a little bit on the alternate spread at -1.5.
BET GIANTS ALTERNATE SPREAD -1.5 (+185).
Over/Under
Webb’s last 3 outings and 4 of his last 5 have not surpassed 7 total runs.
But opponents have scored 7 or more by themselves in 3 of Fried’s last 4 starts.
Six of the Giants’ last 9 games have had at least 7 total runs.
BET OVER 7 (-120).
