Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Giants 2

Moneyline

Gallen has been great this season. He allowed 3 of his 4 ER on the road this season but has allowed only 1 run in his 3 other starts, and Arizona is 3-1 when he is on the mound.

The Giants lost Harrison’s only home start this season, a 5-3 loss to Washington on April 9. He allowed 3 runs in 6 innings.

Betting the Diamondbacks to win isn’t a bad bet at -125, but their track record this season with Gallen on the mound makes the run line and the plus-odds there even better.

PASS. 

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks have scored 5 or more runs in all Gallen’s starts. All 3 wins when he started were by multiple runs.

Six of the Giants’ last 7 losses were by more than 1 run.

Nine of the Diamondbacks’ 10 wins have been by multiple runs.

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

Seven of Arizona’s last 10 games have had 8 or fewer total runs.

Seven of the last 9 meetings between the 2 teams have had 8 it fewer runs.

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

Diamondbacks at Giants projected starters

Montgomery (10-11, 3.20 ERA in 2023) makes his 2024 debut. He had a 1.19 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 through 188 2/3 IP in 32 starts last season with the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers.

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

Arizona (+110) has been waiting for the debut of Montgomery, as LHP Eduardo Rodriguez was placed on the 60-day IL.

But the issue for Arizona has mostly been the back end of the bullpen while closer Paul Sewald has been out. It has already blown 5 save opportunities in 20 games.

Snell has struggled early on but has been nearly perfect in his career against Arizona.

Montgomery probably won’t go deep into the game in his debut, so Arizona will need to rely on the bullpen.

BET GIANTS (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

Three of the Giants’ last 7 wins have been by only 1 run. The Diamondbacks have four 1-run losses this season.

Betting the D’Backs to cover +1.5 at -190 isn’t a good bet, but with Snell’s struggles early this season, despite his career numbers against Arizona, this feels like a game where Arizona has a lead from a strong Montgomery debut, only to have the bullpen fail.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both of Snell’s starts this season have had 9 or more total runs.

Five of Arizona’s last 6 games have not reached 9 total runs.

The Giants’ last 2 games have not reached 9 total runs, but 3 of their last 6 have.

Seven of the last 8 meetings have not reached 9 runs.

BET UNDER 8 (-110).

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

Pfaadt has been better in his last 2 starts for the Diamondbacks but the Giants are going with a bullpen game and have a 3.64 reliever ERA, the 5th-lowest in baseball.

The Giants have not won more than 2 games in a row in their last 14 overall.

The Diamondbacks have lost their last 3 series and 4 of their last 5.

An Arizona win is hard to predict with how they are playing and the line for the Giants (-160) is just too pricey considering the bullpen game angle.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games but 5-10 ATS in their last 15 overall. Four of their last 6 wins have been by only 1 run.

Two of the Giants’ 5 wins over the Diamondbacks have been by only 1 run.

The Giants have scored no more than 4 runs in 13 of their last 14 games so we can expect a close game.

BET DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-160).

Over/Under

Nine of the Giants’ last 10 games have not reached 9 total runs.

Seven of the Diamondbacks’ last 8 games have had 8 or fewer total runs.

All 3 games in this series have resulted in 7 or fewer total runs.

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

The Arizona Diamondbacks (56-50) kick off a 7-game road trip Monday with the opener of a 4-game NL West series against the rival San Francisco Giants (58-48). First pitch from Oracle Park is at 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 4-3

The Diamondbacks have been fading in the NL West. Once the division leaders, they are now in 3rd place, 4 games behind the division-leading Los Angeles Dodgers and 2 behind the Giants. Arizona lost 4-0 to the visiting Seattle Mariners Sunday as it failed to win a 3rd straight series. The D-backs have lost 12 of their last 16 games.

The Giants have bounced back from a 6-game losing skid to win 4 of their last 5 games. San Francisco beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 on Sunday, making them 4-1 to start a 9-game homestand.

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

This should be a great pitching matchup. Cobb has been effective all season, while Nelson has been fantastic on the road.

Nelson has allowed 2 or fewer earned runs in each of his last 4 road turns.

The Diamondbacks have scored 5 or more runs in 6 of the 7 games against the Giants this season, but the Giants have not allowed more than 3 in their last 5 games.

BET DIAMONDBACKS (+130)

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games but were 0-8 ATS in the 8 games prior.

The Diamondbacks are 30-25 ATS this season as underdogs. The last 4 games they have covered the spread have been outright wins, and the better value here is on Arizona’s moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

Five of the 7 games between these teams this season have had at least 8 total runs.

Four of Arizona’s last 5 games have not reached 8 total runs.

Six of the Giants’ last 7 have not reached 8 total runs.

BET UNDER 8 (-105).
