Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s not great value here either way, and the Giants (-172) have lost 2 of their last 3 at home and are 3-3 straight up at Oracle Park this season. Their value isn’t great here, and it should be avoided.

Run line/Against the spread

BET DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-152).

The Giants have traded off winning and losing in 8 straight games, and that has expanded through all or part of 3 series. San Fran has dropped 3 of its last 5 at home and is just 1-5 ATS at home, winning by 1 in 2 of its 3 wins.

The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, have played 6 games as on the road and lost in Atlanta by 1 in 2 of those. They are 3-3 ATS away. While Nelson hasn’t been as consistent as Webb this season, he was strong on the road last season. Expect the Diamondbacks to keep this one close.

Take DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-152).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8 (-172).

The Diamondbacks have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games, and they are 0-3 O/U in Nelson’s 3 starts this season.

Arizona is 9-10 O/U on the season. The Giants have gone Under in 5 of their last 8 games. They have scored 4 or fewer in 4 straight games and have allowed 3 or fewer in 2 of their last 3.

Considering the strength of the starting pitching as well, back UNDER 8 (-172).

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

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.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

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.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (57-50) and San Francisco Giants (58-49) meet Tuesday for game 2 of a 4-game series.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 5-3

Arizona took Monday’s opener 4-3 in 11 innings as a +122 underdog. The Diamondbacks tied it in the 6th after trailing 2-0, both teams scored in the 10th and 2B Ketel Marte’s RBI double was the difference in the 11th.

The win snapped a 4-game road losing streak for the D-backs, who were 2-8 in their previous 10 games overall. They are 29-22 on the road this season.

The Giants had a short 2-game winning streak snapped with the loss. They are 4-2 in their last 6 games and 30-24 at home.

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Diamondbacks 2

Moneyline

LEAN GIANTS (+105).

The Giants are only marginally hotter than the Diamondbacks, but they do have the pitching advantage. The Giants 13-3 in Cobb’s last 16 starts, including 7-1 in his last 8 outings. They are 3-1 in his last 4 starts vs. the Diamondbacks, dating back to last August.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. 

I’m confident the Giants will cover here, but at +1.5 (-175), the line is a bit pricey. Bet on the moneyline and/or O/U instead.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7 (+105). 

The Under is 4-0 in Arizona’s last 4 games and 7-2 in their last 9.

The Under is also 4-0 in San Francisco’s last 4 overall and 7-2 in their last 9 — it’s 10-2 in their last 12. Plus, the Under is 4-0-1 in Cobb’s last 5 starts, and 2-1 in his last 3 starts vs. Arizona.

The Under has also hit on back-to-back Arizona-San Francisco matchups.

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Giants 5

Moneyline

BET DIAMONDBACKS (+105).

Arizona is 13-3 in its last 16 contests after losing the 1st 2 games of a series and should avoid the sweep Sunday. The Diamondbacks have not been swept in a series all season and should bounce back after losing by 1 run Saturday.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Arizona +1.5 (-175) should hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the Diamondbacks should win straight up. Bet the ML and/or the total instead.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (-115).

The Over is 5-2-1 in Arizona’s last 8 games and 5-1 in its last 6 vs. teams with a winning record.

The Over has hit in San Francisco’s last 6 games vs. teams that are above .500 and should cash again Sunday with both teams sending out inconsistent starters.

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 4

Money line

The Diamondbacks have failed to win their last 5 road series and are 17-23 on the road.

The Giants have found some offense, scoring 12 or more runs in 2 of their last 3 games.

Gallen has an ERA over 5 in the months of June and July, while the Giants’ bullpen has a total ERA this season of 4.22.

Take the GIANTS (-135).

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).

Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Giants 4

Money line

After a rough patch in May, Kelly seems to have gotten things back on track to match his early-season play. He has allowed 2 or fewer runs in 3 of his last 4 starts and 4 of his last 6.

Arizona’s offense has scored 5 or more runs in 8 of its last 10 games.

The Giants, though, despite winning their last 2, have been scuffling. Before winning their last 2, they had only 1 win in their previous 9 contests. They have scored 3 or fewer runs in 8 of their last 11 games.

Take DIAMONDBACKS (+130).

Run line/Against the spread

Arizona’s 48-38 ATS record is the 4th-best in all of baseball. They are 22-16 ATS on the road.

The Giants are 41-43 ATS overall and 14-27 ATS at home.

If you aren’t sure about Arizona outright, it is still a good bet to take the DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-165).

Over/Under

As previously mentioned, the Diamondbacks have scored 5 or more runs in 8 of their last 10 games. Their last 11 wins have all had totals of 8 or more runs.

The Giants have had 7 of their last 9 games with 8 or more total runs.

Take OVER 7.5 (-122).

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (20-46) and San Francisco Giants (40-25) open a four-game NL West series Monday with a 9:45 p.m. ET first pitch at Oracle Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Diamondbacks vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Matt Peacock is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 2-3 with a 5.24 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 6.3 K/9, and 2.6 BB/9 in 34 1/3 IP over 5 starts and 8 relief appearances.

Control problems have led to Peacock logging an 8.53 ERA over his last two starts. He’s walked 7 over 6 1/3 IP in those two turns.

LHP Alex Wood is the projected starter for the Giants. Wood is 5-3 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 8.5 K/9, and 2.8 BB/9 in 57 IP over 10 starts this season.

He’s in a similar boat to Peacock’s: the lefty has walked 7 while posting an 11.00 ERA over 9 IP in his last two starts.

Prediction

Giants 4, Diamondbacks 3

Money line (ML)

The Diamondbacks went into a May 4 road trip to Miami with a 15-13 record. Thirty-eight games — and 33 losses! — later, the Snakes are spiraling toward a dismal season. The 5-33 mark in their last 38 games includes an 0-19 mark away from home.

San Francisco returns home after a 3-3 road trip. Against some good competition, the Giants are 10-7 over their last 17 games in their home yard.

Arizona is in wagering purgatory, and the D-backs haven’t hit enough on the road (.634 OPS) to deserve any serious consideration here. The price tag on the Giants is a bit steep, but SAN FRANCISCO (-190) is the best side to take in this battle between opposite ends of a talented division.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the run line. Wood’s recent control problems are accompanied by some struggles with the bats on the final five games of the road trip (.431 OPS).

Over/Under (O/U)

A hefty batter’s breeze forecast for 15 miles per hour out to center is expected for this game, but both starters are more likable than their recent stumbles would suggest, and both are adept at inducing lots of ground-ball contact.

The UNDER 8 (-110) is a “LEAN”, but consider holding out for a higher total or a better tag.
