The San Francisco Giants (28-19) and Arizona Diamondbacks (18-30) play the first game of a two-game set at Chase Field Tuesday with a 9:40 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.
RHP Kevin Gausman is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants. He is 4-0 with a 1.66 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, 10.1 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 over 59 2/3 IP through 9 starts.
Gausman allowed 1 or no runs in each of his past six starts, and eight of his nine outings overall. That includes a win last time out in Cincinnati Wednesday when he allowed just 1 hit and 2 walks with 8 strikeouts in 6 scoreless innings.
RHP Corbin Martin is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He has made one start in which he allowed 3 earned runs on 4 hits and 4 walks with 6 strikeouts.
Martin made his season debut on the road last Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He allowed 3 runs, 4 hits and 4 walks with 6 strikeouts over 5 frames in a loss.

Money line (ML)
The GIANTS (-170) are the play in this series opener, as Gausman has been amazing this season, while the Diamondbacks counter with Martin in just his second start. That tips the scales easily in the favor of San Francisco.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The GIANTS -1.5 (-105) are worth a roll of the dice on the run line, as they should be able to post plenty of offense against the Diamondbacks.
It’s unlikely Arizona will be able to counter with much of an offensive attack against Gausman. Plus, the D-Backs are 0-7 in their past seven games against teams with a winning record, and 0-5 in their past five games against a right-handed starter.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 9 (-115) is always a good play when Gausman is on the bump, especially on the road, going 4-1 across his past five outings away from home.
The Under has dominated for the Diamondbacks lately, too. It went 4-1 in their past five games, and 4-1 in their past five vs. RHPs.
