Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 7, Giants 2
Moneyline
BET DIAMONDBACKS (+125).
Arizona is 3-1 in its last 4 games overall and has won 8 straight on the road, while the Giants have dropped 4 straight overall and are only 3-7 in their last 10.
The Diamondbacks are also 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall and 4-1 in the last 5 in San Francisco.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
The Diamondbacks will cover here as +1.5 (-185) underdogs, but their odds are safer on the moneyline, and I am not a fan of doubling down, so I advise passing on this bet and playing the moneyline and/or total instead.
Over/Under
BET OVER 7.5 (+105).
The Over has hit in 6 straight games for Arizona and is 9-1 in its last 10. For San Francisco, the Over is 3-0 in its last 3 games. The Over has also hit in each of the last 4 overall meetings between these squads and is 4-0-1 in the last 5 in San Francisco.
