[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Braves (63-56) and San Francisco Giants (61-61) play the 3rd game of a 4-game set at Oracle Park Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET. 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 3-2

The Braves have beaten the Giants by 1 run in back-to-back 10-inning games. After taking the Monday opener 1-0 as -108 favorites, the Braves won 4-3 as -101 underdogs in the 2nd game of the series Tuesday — the Under cashed in both meetings. C Travis d’Arnaud hit a solo shot in the 3rd inning Tuesday and drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th with an infield single.

Giants SS Tyler Fitzgerald tried to lay down a bunt to lead off the bottom of the 10th, but was called for batter’s interference. San Francisco was unable to advance its automatic runner, as 1B Lamonte Wade Jr. and CF Heliot Ramos each flied out for the final 2 outs of the game. The Giants have lost 3 straight, all at home.

RHP Grant Holmes vs. LHP Robbie Ray

Holmes (0-0, 3.79 ERA) makes his 4th start and 14th appearance. The 28-year-old rookie has a 1.11 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 in 38 IP.

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Braves 3

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-125) haven’t lost 4 straight games at Oracle Park since a 4-game home skid May 29-June 2 (1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies and 3 vs. the New York Yankees). It’s unlikely that the Braves with Holmes on the mound will hand San Francisco a 4th straight loss, as they’re 0-3 in his 3 starts.

Ray, on the other hand, has been profitable for bettors since returning from last year’s Tommy John surgery. San Francisco is 3-1 in his starts this season, with the 2021 AL Cy Young winner allowing 2 runs or fewer in each victory.

BET GIANTS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

After back-to-back 1-run games, Atlanta +1.5 (-210) seems like the safer choice, but there’s too much vig in this line to recommend a play.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

Ray has allowed 2 ER in back-to-back starts, and the Giants are the 4th-best Under bet in MLB this season, hitting Unders at a 27-16-1 (62.8%) clip. Ray will probably give up fewer than 3 runs, and San Francisco’s offense has underperformed lately, scoring 4 or fewer in 4 straight games.

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

The Atlanta Braves (61-56) take on the San Francisco Giants (61-59) Monday in the opener of a 4-game set at Oracle Park at 9:45 p.m. ET. 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: Giants lead 2-1

The Braves dropped 2 of 3 in Colorado over the weekend and are reeling at 1-7 in their last 8 games — and 7-14 in their last 21. Their pitching has been brutal. Toss out the last series in Coors Field, but they still allowed 34 runs in a 3-game series at home to Milwaukee. 3B Austin Riley is hitting .353 (18 for 51) with 4 homers and 13 RBIs in his last 12 games.

The Giants are playing better baseball, winners of 4 of 5 — and 12 of 16 — but fell to the Detroit Tigers 5-4 Sunday as -176 home favorites. 3B Matt Chapman has stepped his game up, hitting .362 with 5 homers and 15 RBIs over his last 15 games.

Braves at Giants projected starters

LHP Chris Sale vs. LHP Blake Snell

Sale (13-3, NL-best 2.75 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 11.6 K/9 in 127 2/3 innings.

• Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 2 ER (3 R), 9 H, 2 BB, 10 K in 8-5 home loss vs. Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday
• 2024 vs. Giants: 1 start, win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 9 K in 3-1 home victory
• Career vs. Giants: 2-0, 1.80 ERA (20 IP, 4 ER), 1.00 WHIP, 12.6 K/9 in 3 starts (1 start last season, 2 starts in 2014 with White Sox)

Snell (2-3, 4.31 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 11.5 K/9 in 62 2/3 innings.

• Last start: Win, 6 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 7-4 victory at Washington Nationals Wednesday
• Last 3 starts: 2-0, 1.29 ERA (21 IP, 3 ER), 0.57 WHIP, 34 K in 21 innings, including his no-hitter at Cincinnati Reds Aug. 9
• Career vs. Braves: 0-2, 4.20 ERA (15 IP, 7 ER), 1.47 WHIP, 12 K in 3 starts

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Braves 3

Moneyline

Snell had 1 bad inning in his first start after no-hitting the Reds Aug. 9. He gave up 3 runs in the 3rd inning of his last start and rebounded with 5 K’s in his final 3 innings of work. He’s at another level right now, and I trust him more than Sale, who has allowed 2 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts for a 3.06 ERA.

BET GIANTS (-105) at home.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS on a run line wager, but …

I like BLAKE SNELL OVER 7.5 K’S (-130). The Braves are the 6th-easiest to whiff in baseball at 9.15 K’s per game. Snell’s K lines in his last 3 starts: 8, 11, 15.

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 60 degrees with a fierce 11-mph gust blowing straight out to center. According to Pregame.com, 3 5-figure bets came in on the Over between 12-1 p.m. One of those was for $62,574! With the weather favoring the Over, and the sharps coming in hot, TAKE OVER 6.5 (-105).

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).

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).
