The San Francisco Giants (78-79) take on the Arizona Diamondbacks (87-70) Tuesday in the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Chase Field at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Giants vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: D-backs lead 6-5
The Giants have been eliminated from postseason contention, but they must have missed the memo. They’ve won 4 in a row, sweeping a 3-game series at the Kansas City Royals and taking Tuesday’s opener from the Diamondbacks 6-3. 3B Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 with a triple, his 27th homer and 3 RBIs, while LF Michael Conforto finished 2-for-5 with a double, his 19th HR and 1 RBI.
The D-backs are 1½ games up on the Atlanta Braves for the final Wild Card spot. They have dropped 2 in a row after winning 4 straight. Over his last 27 games, OF Corbin Carroll is hitting .262 with 7 homers and 20 RBIs while stealing 11 bags.

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 5, Giants 4
Moneyline
Wait, did you see that last start line from Pfaadt? Outside of having the most fun last name in baseball, that was quite impressive: 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 0 BB and 12 K against the NL Central-champion Brewers. Before that, however, he gave up 29 earned runs in 29 innings across his last 6 starts.
While I like the D-backs here, I don’t trust them enough to risk -150 on them.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Of the D-backs’ 6 wins against the Giants this season, 5 were by multiple runs. Webb has had some issues on the bump lately as well, allowing 3+ ER in 5 straight starts.
TAKE DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+145).
Over/Under
It’s slated to be 101 degrees at first pitch with a light, 2-mph breeze coming in from left-center. The Over is 6-2-2 in the last 10 meetings. Each team is 5-4-1 O/U in their last 10.
I like OVER 8 (-115).
