The Arizona Diamondbacks (57-51) and San Francisco Giants (59-49) meet Wednesday for game 3 of a 4-game series. First pitch from Oracle Park is set for 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Diamondbacks lead 5-4
San Francisco won 4-3 Tuesday as a +101 home underdog to tie the current series at 1 game apiece. Arizona held a 3-0 lead heading into the bottom of the 6th but a 3-run bottom half tied things up and a solo HR in the bottom of the 7th from 1B Lamonte Wade Jr. put the Giants ahead for good.
The Diamondbacks are now 3-7 in their last 10 overall and 1-5 in their last 6 road games. They sit at 29-23 on the road on the year. The Giants are 5-5 in their last 10 and 5-2 in their last 7 home games. San Francisco is 31-24 at home this season.

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 3, Diamondbacks 2
Moneyline
PASS.
I am not confident in betting on either team to win with recent matchups being so back-and-forth and neither team being particularly hot. Bet on the run line and/or total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
LEAN DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-130).
The Diamondbacks are starting a pitcher who has never pitched in the MLB but I like their chances of keeping this game close. The Giants are 2-3 in Webb’s last 5 starts and 1-2 in his last 3 starts vs. Arizona, and recent Arizona-San Francisco matchups are even at 5-5 through the last 10 meetings. The Diamondbacks are also solid on the road.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 8 (-110).
The Under is 4-0 in Arizona’s last 4 overall and 8-2 in its last 10.
The Under has cashed in 5 of San Francisco’s last 6 outings, 2-1 in Webb’s last 3 starts vs. Arizona and 3-1 in Webb’s last 4 starts overall.
The Under is also 3-0 in the last 3 meetings between these teams.
