San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

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 projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. RHP Brandon Pfaadt

Webb (12-10, 3.58 ERA) makes his 33rd start. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through an NL-best 198 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 5-3 loss at Baltimore Orioles Thursday
  • Career vs. D-backs: 6-3, 2.51 ERA (68 IP, 19 ER), 1.19 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 in 11 starts
  • 2024 vs. D-backs: 1 home start, win, 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 5-0 shutout April 18
  • Last 5 starts vs. D-Backs: 3-1, 2.38 ERA (34 IP, 9 ER), 0.94 WHIP

Pfaadt (10-9, 4.66 ERA) makes his 31st start. He has a 1.23 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 through 173 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 0 BB, 12 K in 5-1 victory at Milwaukee Brewers Thursday
  • Career Giants: 0-1, 1.50 ERA (12 IP, 2 ER), 0.58 WHIP, 12 K in 2 starts — both last season

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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).

Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Giants at Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 6-4

The Diamondbacks lost 10-9 to the Milwaukee Brewers in a shootout Sunday. Arizona has scored at least 5 runs in 5 straight games and has won 4 of those. It is 43-33 at home, yet is just 5-7 over its last 12 games at home. The Diamondbacks are 81-74 ATS.

Giants at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez

Birdsong (4-5, 4.74 ERA) makes his 15th career start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 5.5 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 in 62 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 5-3 road win over the Baltimore Orioles Wednesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Giants 5

Moneyline

PASS.

The Diamondbacks are far too expensive of a favorite to play at home, especially considering how well the Giants have played as of late. Similarly, the Giants aren’t worth a play on the moneyline and have more attractive odds on the spread.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS +1.5 (-145).

The Giants have been playing extremely well on the road and against competent opponents. Both the Royals and Orioles have winning  records and the Giants won 5 of 6 against those teams in their last 2 road series. San Francisco has allowed just 9 total runs in those 6 games and has allowed just 6 total runs in Birdsong’s last 2 starts.

Also, 2 of the last 3 games between these teams have ended within 1 run. The Diamondbacks have allowed 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 8 games and have outright lost in 3 of Rodriguez’s last 4 starts. Put it all together and back GIANTS +1.5 (-145).

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (-110).

In the 10 games between these 2 teams this season, 6 of them would’ve gone Over this total. One team has scored at least 6 runs in 4 of the last 5 games and 1 team has scored at least 8 runs in 3 of those 5 games.

Neither starting pitcher has been consistently efficient this season. The Diamondbacks are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games and 88-61-6 O/U on the season. The Giants have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 and are 79-71-6 O/U.

Back OVER 9 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Kansas City Royals (82-72) welcome the San Francisco Giants (75-79) to Kauffman Stadium Saturday for the 2nd of their 3-game series. First pitch is set for 5:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Giants vs. Royals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 1-0

The Giants beat the Royals to open the series 2-1 Friday, closing as a +180 moneyline underdog.

San Francisco has won 3 of its last 4 games yet are just 3-5 over its last 8. The Giants sit 4th in the NL West. They are just 34-42 on the road this season and 74-80 against the spread (ATS).

The Royals, who sit 2nd in the AL Central and are still vying for the playoffs, have lost 5 in a row and have scored just 4 runs in their last 3 games. Kansas City has lost 4 straight at home and is 45-34 at home on the season. It is 85-69 ATS.

Giants at Royals projected starters

RHP Landen Roupp vs. RHP Brady Singer

Roupp (0-1, 3.02 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 1.25 WHIP, 4.5 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 through 41 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 4 K in 4-3 home loss to the San Diego Padres Sunday
  • 2024 away stats: 0-0, 0.00 ERA (12 2/3 IP, 0 ER), 1.18 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 in 8 appearances
  • First time facing the Royals in his career

Singer (9-11, 3.53 ERA) makes his 31st start. He has a 1.27 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 through 168 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 4 BB, 6 K in 4-3 road loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday

  • Moneyline (ML): Giants +130 (bet $100 to win $130) | Royals -155 (bet $155 to win $100)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Giants +1.5 (-175) | Royals -1.5 (+145)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Royals picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Royals 3

Moneyline

BET GIANTS (+130).

The Royals have not played well as of late, and while Singer has been a solid option for most of the season, they are 0-5 in his last 5 starts. Kansas City has a scoring problem, and it has tallied 3 or fewer in 6 of its last 11 games. It has allowed 34 runs in Singer’s last 5 starts.

San Francisco has won 3 of its last 4 on the road and beat the Baltimore Orioles in 2 of 3 on the road in the series prior. The Giants have only allowed 7 runs in the 2 games Roupp has started. With those trends in mind, take GIANTS (+130).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Giants are far too expensive as a run-line underdog here, especially with how poorly the Royals have played over the last week. The Royals, similarly, are too risky as a run-line favorite.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-110).

The Giants have scored 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 8 games and have gone Under in 4 of those. San Francisco has gone 0-2 O/U in Roupp’s last 2 starts.

The Royals have gone Under in 3 straight games and are 68-82-4 O/U on the season. Kansas City has gone Under in 5 of its last 6 and in 7 of its last 9. Considering those trends, back UNDER 8.5 (-110).

The San Francisco Giants (74-79) and the Kansas City Royals (82-71) open a 3-game interleague series Friday. First pitch from Kauffman Stadium is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Giants vs. Royals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Royals won 2-1 in 2023

The Giants picked up 2 wins in a 3-game interleague set in Baltimore Tuesday through Thursday, and they improved to 4-2 in the past 6 road games. San Francisco is 6-4 across the past 10 interleague games, too. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row, while going high in 5 straight on the road.

The Royals head into this 2014 World Series rematch on a 4-game losing streak, including a 3-game sweep at home this week by the Detroit Tigers. Opposite of the Giants, the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games, and 13-4-1 across the previous 18 contests since Aug. 30.

Giants at Royals projected starters

RHP Mason Black vs. RHP Michael Wacha

Black (0-4, 7.07 ERA) makes his 7th career start and 8th appearance. He has a 1.64 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 28 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Royals picks and predictions

Prediction

Royals 6, Giants 2

Moneyline

The ROYALS (-165) are a strong play at home in this interleague series opener. Wacha has been a major reason why this team is in the hunt for a postseason spot.

On the flip side, the Giants (+140) can’t be trusted with the rookie Black on the bump, as he has been extremely erratic, especially on the road so far.

Run line/Against the spread

The ROYALS -1.5 (-120) are a strong play if you’re a little more on the adventurous side.

Yes, Kansas City enters on a 4-game losing streak, but the team’s last win came with Wacha on the mound. The Royals dumped the Pirates 5-1 behind the right-hander, and they’re 5-2 across his past 7 starts with all 5 victories coming by 2 or more runs.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-115) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The total has gone low at a 4-1 clip in the past 5 games for the Royals, while going 13-4-1 in the past 18 outings. At home, the Under is 7-1-1 in the past 9 for the Royals, too.

As far as the Giants are concerned, the Over cashed in all 3 games in Baltimore, and the Over is 5-0 in the past 5 on the road, so be careful.

San Francisco Giants at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s San Francisco Giants at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (74-78) and Baltimore Orioles (84-68) clash Thursday afternoon to finish off a 3-game series. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is slated for 1:05 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Giants vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants leads 2-0, winning 10-0 Tuesday and 5-3 Wednesday

The Giants had been shut out in 3 of their previous 4 games heading into this series, but they have gone 7 of 15 with runners in scoring position in taking the 1st 2 games against Baltimore. They head into Thursday looking for a 3rd straight conquest for the 1st time since Aug. 18-20.

The Orioles’ 4.80 runs per game rank 6th in MLB, but the Baltimore bats have been quiet of late. Since Sept. 4, the Orioles have managed just 2.00 runs per game on a .575 OPS. They have gone just 3-9 over that span and have lost ground to the New York Yankees in the hunt for the AL East flag.

  • Career vs. Orioles: 0-1, 3.86 ERA (7 IP, 3 ER), 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 1 start
  • Owns a 6.86 ERA over his last 4 starts

Eflin (10-9, 3.55 ERA) is making his 27th start. He owns a 1.13 WHIP, 1.1 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 in 154 2/3 IP in 26 starts.

  • Last outing: Loss, 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 3 K in 1-0 loss at Detroit Tigers Friday

Webb is an extreme ground-ball pitcher with his 56.9% GB rate (63.8% GB in last 3 starts). The Orioles are a slightly-below-average offense against such types.

Eflin’s line with Baltimore has been marked by an easy slate of opponents and a .245 batting average on balls in play.

The visitors have a solid return here: BACK SAN FRANCISCO (+115).

Run line/Against the spread

The Under is a lean, and the Giants are a would-be lean as a RL play. But the pricing here offers no leverage. AVOID.

Over/Under

The Under has cashed in 5 of Baltimore’s last 7 games.

A live pitching matchup and a Baltimore club that will be grinding in trying to right the ship and get in an October mode play into an UNDER 7.5 (-115) lean here. Both clubs have had too many extended offensive struggles of late to ignore the potential of a tidy pitcher’s duel in the series finale.

San Francisco Giants at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (73-78) and Baltimore Orioles (84-67) meet Wednesday as they continue a 3-game series. The opening pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is slated for 6:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Giants vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 1-0

The Giants throttled the Birds 10-0 Tuesday, snapping a 4-game losing streak in the process. San Francisco had scored just 3 total runs over its previous 4 games.

With Tuesday’s setback, the Orioles are just 2-7 with a .580 OPS over their last 9 games.

Giants at Orioles projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. RHP Dean Kremer

Birdsong (3-5, 4.74 ERA) is tabbed for his 14th career start. He has a 1.42 WHIP, 5.7 BB/9 and 10.7 K/9 in 57 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 3-0 loss vs. Milwaukee Brewers Thursday
  • Owns a 3.54 ERA over his last 5 starts
  • Has never faced the Giants

Kremer (7-9, 4.10 ERA) is making his 23rd start. He has a 1.26 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 in 118 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 7 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 5-3 loss at Boston Red Sox Wednesday
  • Career vs. Giants: 1-0, 3.00 ERA (6 IP, 2 ER), 5 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 1 start

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

Kremer owns a 2.62 ERA over his last 6 starts. He figures to get deeper into the game than his mound foe Birdsong.

The Baltimore bullpen has been awful this month (5.74 ERA), but its surface ERA does not stand up to analytic scrutiny. Look for a rebound with that group.

The lean here is not significant (consider a partial-unit play), but there is a lean on the ORIOLES (-175).

Run line/Against the spread

The lean on scuffling Baltimore is tiny, and the Giants play in more 1-run games than most clubs. NO INTEREST HERE.

Over/Under

The Over cashed in Tuesday’s series opener and has done so in 3 straight San Francisco road games.

There is some fade tilt to both starters in this matchup. Birdsong’s fade is more due to some likely recency bias: His recent numbers are tinged with some luck on the batting-average-on-balls-in-play front, and he walks too many batters to consistently avoid big innings. Kremer has filed a .258 BABIP for the season; his expected ERA numbers are a good quarter-run higher than his 4.10 surface figure.

TAKE THE OVER 8 (-115).

San Francisco Giants at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Francisco Giants at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (72-78) and Baltimore Orioles (84-66) meet Tuesday as they swing into a 3-game series. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is slated for 6:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s  MLB odds around the Giants vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Baltimore won 2023 series 2-1

The Giants head into this series with a light-hitting 4-game losing streak in tow. San Francisco was shut out in 3 of those 4 contests. Since Aug. 28, the Giants have registered a .619 OPS while going 5-12.

The Orioles are returning to Charm City after a not-so-charmed 6-game road trip. Baltimore logged a .648 OPS and went 2-4 on the trip. The Orioles are just 2-6 over their last 8.

Giants at Orioles projected starters

LHP Blake Snell vs. RHP Albert Suarez

Snell (3-3, 3.52 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 12.1 K/9 in 92 IP.

  • Last outing: Win, 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 13-2 win vs. Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday
  • Career vs. Orioles: 3-2, 4.35 ERA (41 1/3 IP, 20 ER), 34 H, 8 BB, 48 K in 8 starts

Suarez (8-5, 3.39 ERA) is lined up for his 22nd start and 30th appearance. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 in 119 1/3 IP.

  • Last outing: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 5-3 win at Boston Red Sox Tuesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Orioles 3

Moneyline

Suarez is a fly-ball pitcher who has gotten away with a low 7.3% of flies landing as home runs. He’s coming off a season-high 101 pitches in his last and is a significant fade candidate in this matchup.

Over the last 2 seasons, Snell has clocked a 2.68 ERA in 50 starts. He gives the Giants a solid chance in this series lid-lifter.

BACK THE GIANTS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

More juice here, and San Francisco plays in too many 1-run games to attempt the higher hurdle. AVOID.

Over/Under

The Under has cashed in 5 straight Baltimore and in 4 of the Giants’ last 5 games. Snell plus decent rested bullpens plus struggling bats equals an UNDER 8 (-115) lean. Consider making this one a partial-unit play.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Giants 2

Moneyline

The Giants have scored 2 or fewer runs in their last 4 losses. They beat Musgrove last week, but Black has not been great thus far,

Musgrove got lit up for 6 runs in his last start, but his ERA was 1.16 in his previous 4.

He will bounce back, but the run line is the better bet for the Padres.

PASS. 

Run line/Against the spread

Seven of the Padres’ last 9 wins have been by more than 1 run. All 5 of their wins over the Giants this season have been by 2+ runs.

Seven of the Giants’ last 10 losses have been my multiple runs.

BET PADRES -1.5 (+105). 

Over/Under

Six of the 11 games they have played against each other this season have had 8 or more runs.

The Giants’ last 4 losses have not reached 8 total runs.

Six of the Padres’ last 10 games have not reached 8 total runs.

BET UNDER 7.5 (-105).

The GIANTS (-105) are 6-2 in Webb’s last 8 starts. They took 2 out of 3 games last weekend in San Diego over the Padres. They have held opponents to 3 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 7 games.

The Padres are 2-7 in their last 9 games when they allow 4 or more runs.

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. The Padres are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games.

The Padres are 14-17 ATS as road favorites.

But If you like the Giants +1.5, the -190 odds aren’t it. With -105 odds for them to win outright, go with the ML.

PASS.
