Run line/Against the spread
The Diamondbacks are 23-17 ATS on the road this season and 49-39 ATS overall. They have covered the spread in 6 of their last 9 games and 4 of their last 6 losses have been by only 1 run.
The Giants are 15-28 ATS at home this season.
Gallen has the potential to shut down the Giants’ bats but has not been great recently, while the San Francisco bullpen ranks only 21st in the majors in ERA.
But betting the Diamondbacks to cover as a single bet is not worth the action at -190. PASS.
Over/Under
Six of the Giants’ last 10 games have had 9 or more runs.
Eight of the last 12 games for Arizona have had 9 or more runs.
Take OVER 8.5 (+100).
