Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Braves (84-44) and San Francisco Giants (66-63) close out a 3-game set at Oracle Park Sunday. First pitch is at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Braves vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Atlanta leads 4-1

The Braves have dominated this series with a 7-3 victory Saturday and a 5-1 victory Friday. They’ve won 4 games in a row and are 8-2 over their last 10. Atlanta is the best team in baseball and is a hard battle each night.

The Giants have lost 4 of 5 and are just 6-14 over their last 20 games. They’ve fallen 1 1/2 games out of the final NL Wild Card spot. Not only do they have to face the buzzsaw that is Atlanta, but they’re going to have to do it with a bullpen game.

Braves at Giants projected starters

LHP Jared Shuster vs. RHP Tristan Beck

Shuster (4-2, 5.00 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.42 WHIP, 4.4 BB/9 and 5.0 K/9 through 45 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 3 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 2 K June 24 against the Cincinnati Reds
  • Is also 4-5 with a 5.77 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 13 starts at Triple-A Gwinnett in 2023

Beck (3-2, 3.34 ERA) makes his 1st start and 29th appearance. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 through 67 1/3 IP.

  • Last outing: 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 BB, 3 K with 25 pitches Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies
  • Home/road splits: 3-1, 4.33 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 6.6 K/9 in 35 1/3 IP at home vs. 0-1, 2.25 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, 8.7 K/9 on road

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 7, Giants 4

Moneyline

The Giants had to use a bullpen game Saturday and went through 5 pitchers to cover all 9 innings. So it’ll be an uphill battle. The Giants are 20-14 against left-handed pitchers, but I just haven’t seen the kind of urgency from this team in order to side with them in this pick ’em.

Take the BRAVES (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

The Braves have cruised this weekend and are 34-28 on the RL on the road. They are 7-3 in the last 10 against the Giants. However, the ML is at such a solid price, I think we should stick with it.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Over is just 3-7 over the last 10 meetings between the teams and both teams are 3-7 O/U over their previous 10 games as well, but this one has an Over feel.

The Giants’ pen is taxed, and the Braves are bringing up someone that hasn’t started in the majors in 2 months. The Over cashed Saturday, and I’m willing to LEAN OVER 9.5 (-115).

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Braves (83-44) and San Francisco Giants (66-62) play Game 2 of a 3-game series at Oracle Park Saturday. First pitch is slated for 4:05 p.m. ET (FS1/MLB.TV Free Game of the Day). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Braves vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Braves lead 3-1

The Braves began their 10-game West Coast swing with a 5-1 victory behind a dominate pitching performance from SP Spencer Strider on Friday night. He struck out 9 Giants over 7 innings of 3-hit ball. That was their 3rd consecutive win and 6th in their last 9 games. Atlanta is 39-22 on the road this season.

The Giants’ loss on Friday night was their 14th in their last 18 games. San Francisco has been outscored 34-18 in their last 7 home games. They are 12-17 against the NL East this season.

Braves at Giants projected starters

LHP Max Fried vs. RHP Ryan Walker

Fried (4-1, 2.83 ERA) will make his 10th start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 in 47 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 9 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 4-3 home loss vs. Giants Sunday
  • 2023 road stats: 3-0, 1.93 ERA (23 1/3 IP, 5 ER), .230 OBA in 5 starts

Walker (4-2, 2.14 ERA) will make his 11th start and 35th appearance. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 10.3 K/9 in 46 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 1 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 K in 6-1 home loss vs. Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 16
  • 2023 home stats: 2-1, 2.05 ERA (26 1/3 IP, 6 ER), .270 OBA in 17 games (8 starts)
  • Has never faced Atlanta

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 5, Giants 2

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Braves to win this game but not enough to bet nearly 2 units to win back 1. I’ll look towards the run line in this one.

Run line/Against the spread

BET BRAVES -1.5 (-105).

There is no question that the Braves are the better team in this one. The fact that they are on the road does not matter when they are nearly 40 games above .500. In Atlanta’s last 8 victories, it has covered the run line in 6 of them, including Friday against this same Giants team. I would like to see +100 or better, but I’ll take -105.

Over/Under

LEAN THE UNDER (+100).

When you’ve got an opener like Ryan Walker on the mound, it’s hard to judge the run total. You just don’t know what arms they are going to put out there against the Braves. It really should not matter when it comes to the outcome but predicting the total runs is tougher. I’ll likely not make this bet, but I’d lean to the under because of Max Fried being on the mound for Atlanta.

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Braves (82-44) and San Francisco Giants (66-61) open up a 3-game set at Oracle Park Friday. First pitch is at 10:15 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Braves vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Braves lead 2-1

The Braves head out on the road after taking 2 of 3 games from the New York Mets from Monday to Wednesday and 2 of 3 from the Giants last weekend. Atlanta is 7-3 over its last 10 and 13 1/2 games up in the NL East. The Braves are 13-10 against the NL West this year.

The Giants are in a bit of a rut after losing 2 of 3 to the Braves last weekend and the Philadelphia Phillies to start the week. They salvaged a game against the Phils Wednesday with an 8-6 victory in extras. They’re 12 1/2 out in the division and a half-game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final NL Wild Card.

Braves at Giants projected starters

RHP Spencer Strider vs. RHP Logan Webb

Strider (14-4, 3.57 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 14.0 K/9 through 146 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 BB, 10 K vs. Giants last Friday
  • 3 career starts vs Giants: 1-1, 4.60 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 23 K in 15 2/3 IP

Webb (9-9, 3.36 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.09 WHIP, 1.4 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 through 169 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 4 ER, 9 H, 0 BB, 5 K against Braves last Friday
  • Last 5 starts vs. Braves: 2-0, 2.18 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 34 K in 33 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

Strider hasn’t allowed an earned run in 14 innings over his last 2 starts. I expect a lot of zeros and a lot of K’s. The Braves are 6-4 against the Giants over the last 10. The Giants are tough at home at 35-28, but they strike out an awful lot, which is a tough recipe to beat Strider.

Take the BRAVES (-160).

Run line/Against the spread

I’m staying away from the RL because 4 of the last 6 wins by Atlanta in this series were by a single run. They are also just 32-28 on the RL on the road, which says something for a team that’s 82-44 on the year.

PASS.

Over/Under

This is a small number, but the games between these teams just really haven’t been offensive. They totaled 8 runs in just 3 of the last 10 against one another. Each team is 4-6 O/U over their last 10 games. Go easy here, but LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-110).

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Atlanta Braves (88-54) and San Francisco Giants (68-74) meet Wednesday as they close out a 3-game series at Oracle Park. First pitch is scheduled for a 3:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Braves vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Atlanta leads 4-2

Atlanta ended a 3-game losing skid with a 5-1 win over the Giants in Tuesday’s game. The matinee finale Wednesday marks the Braves’ final game in a 3-city, 8-game road trip against the Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners and Giants. Atlanta is 1-4 in its last 5 road-trip finales.

The Giants have pitched their way to 3 wins over their last 4 games. San Francisco owns a 3.79 ERA across its last 9 games overall and owns a tidy 2.57 ERA since Aug. 12 in its run-suppressant home yard.

Braves at Giants projected starters

RHP Charlie Morton vs. LHP Carlos Rodon

Morton (8-5, 4.08 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 10.6 K/9 through 152 1/3 IP.

  • Allowed 4 runs in 6 1/3 IP in his last start Friday at Seattle Mariners but has still posted a 3.40 ERA across 7 starts since Aug. 3
  • Figures to see a significant left lean in the S.F. order, and that could well be a problem as he has allowed a .760 OPS against lefty bats this season (vs. a .658 OPS against right-handed ones)
  • Owns a 5.28 ERA away from home

Rodon (12-8, 2.93 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.05 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 11.7 K/9 through 162 2/3 IP.

  • Pitched a gem at the Braves June 22: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB and 10K
  • Owns a 2.22 ERA at home

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Braves 3

Money line

The pitching notes above make for a compelling case on the Rodon side. Add in a San Francisco bullpen being in better shape on the fatigue-o-meter.

TAKE SAN FRANCISCO (+100).

Run line/Against the spread

San Francisco has played in a lot of 1-run games of late.

This play is worth a line watch: back the Giants +1.5 at -170 or better. PASS otherwise.

Over/Under

PASS: the Under is a lean in principle, but we’re swimming upstream against too much juice.

The Atlanta Braves (87-54) and San Francisco Giants (68-73) meet Tuesday to continue a 3-game series at Oracle Park. First pitch is scheduled for a 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Braves vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Kyle Wright vs. RHP Jakob Junis

Wright (17-5, 3.23 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.15 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 158 2/3 IP.

  • Allowed 8 ER in 4 IP at Oakland Athletics last Tuesday but had notched a 1.04 ERA over 4 starts prior
  • Figures to see a significant left lean in the S.F. order, and that could well be a problem as he has allowed a .799 OPS against lefty bats and a .637 OPS against right-handed ones over his career

Junis (4-5, 3.98 ERA) has appeared in 19 games, making 15 starts. He has a 1.18 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 through 92 2/3 IP.

  • Owns a 5.85 ERA as a starter since July 30
  • Has clocked a 3.56 ERA at home in 2022

Prediction

Giants 5, Braves 4

Money line

Wright is in an under-the-radar beatable spot. Junis has fared well at home and has pitched better of late than his surface line shows.

TAKE SAN FRANCISCO (+135). Peg the play as a partial-unit one until such a point as when a +140 becomes available.

Run line/Against the spread

Back the GIANTS +1.5 (-120).

Over/Under

This contest is tabbed for a double-digit wind aiding the batters. Tab the OVER 7.5 (-120) with just a sliver of a lean.

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Atlanta Braves (87-53) meet the San Francisco Giants (66-73) Monday in the opener of a 3-game set at Oracle Park. First pitch is set for 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Braves vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Braves lead 3-1

Atlanta dropped the final 2 games of a 3-game set at the Seattle Mariners over the weekend after racking up an 8-game winning streak. They’re 8-2, 14-6 and 23-7 over their last 10, 20 and 30 games, respectively. Atlanta is just 1 1/2 games back of the New York Mets in the NL East.

The Giants are going a different way. They won the final 2 games of their 3-game weekend series against the Chicago Cubs, but they are just 13-17 over the last 30 games. You can virtually forget about October for San Francisco as it sits 9 1/2 games out of the final NL wild-card spot.

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 5, Giants 3

Money line

Strider is on another level right now as he’s averaging over 10 K’s in his last 4 starts. He could strike out 12 Giants as they’re 26th in K’s/game. The Braves have been piling up the runs with 6 or more runs in 5 of 6 games and 38 total runs during that stretch.

I would be willing to take BRAVES FIRST 9 INNINGS (-145) and/or BRAVES TOTAL RUNS OVER 4.5 (+130).

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants got to Strider for 6 ER last time out, and he’ll have that fresh in his mind as he carves them up. I’ll take the almost even money with the BRAVES -1.5 (-105) with the way they’ve pitched and plated runs lately.

Over/Under

This one can go either way, and 2 of the 4 games went each way earlier in the season. The Under is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings between these teams in San Francisco. The Over is 4-0-1 in Strider’s last 5 road starts. This is too close to call for me. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Giants have the best ATS record in all of baseball at 89-59, while the Braves are 68-77 ATS. However, the Braves are sixth in the majors with a 43-29 road ATS record.

That is countered by the Giants’ 40-33 home ATS record.

Take the GIANTS -1.5 (+165).

Over/Under (O/U)

10 of the Giants’ last 12 games have finished with totals of 8 or more runs.

Nine of the last 11 for the Braves have, too.

Three of the four games between the teams this season have had 8 or more combined runs.

Take OVER 7.5 (-130).
