Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Dodgers 4

Money line

BET the GIANTS (+115) for 1 unit because they are 22-3 SU in Webb’s home starts since the beginning of last season, which includes 2-1 SU vs. the Dodgers (-140) and L.A. has averaged just 1.0 run per in those games.

Furthermore, San Francisco is 15-4 SU this year at home vs. left-handed starters with a plus-31.4% return on investment and an average final margin of 5.42-3.89.

The Giants are deadly vs. left-handed pitching and are scoring 5.32 runs per 9 against lefties. Also, San Francisco’s lineup ranks 6th in wRC+ (115), 8th in wOBA (.330) and 4th in ISO (.188), according to FanGraphs.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN to the GIANTS +1.5 (-150) because they are 6-0 RL as home underdogs and 15-10 RL in Webb’s home starts since the beginning of 2021.

But, it’s only a LEAN to the GIANTS +1.5 (-150) because this RL is pricey considering the Dodgers -1.5 (+122) are 29-20 RL as road favorites and all 6 of their wins vs. the Giants this season have been by at least 2 runs.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 7.5 (-125).

The average final outcome of Webb’s home starts since the beginning of last season is 6.00-3.16 and the Over 7.5 (-125) appears to be the sharper side of the total because of the price. Also, both lineups are productive vs. the Monday opposing starters’ pitch handedness.

However, the Dodgers are 17-28-4 O/U as road favorites and 12-25-3 O/U vs. NL West teams and San Francisco’s ML is my favorite look in this game.

Cubs at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Cubs 2

Money line

The Giants’ 12-19 record in 1-run games somewhat unfairly colors bettors’ current opinions of a club that has underplayed its 4.62 runs per game and 4.36 RPG allowed.

PASS on the current tag, But a Giants play closer to -180 makes sense.

Run line/Against the spread

TAKE SAN FRANCISCO -1.5 (+110).

Expect a bounce-back from Rodon, who has struggled in 2 second-half starts after going into the break on a hot streak.

Over/Under

Both clubs have some Under lean in their overall runs-versus-expected runs figures. But peg Sampson as being overrated in the Chicago starter’s slot and the S.F. bullpen being in need of a day off.

PASS.

Smyly (3-5, 3.93 ERA) has made 12 starts this season. He has a 1.27 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 through 55 IP.

  • Was solid in his last start June 24 at the Philadelphia Phillies where he allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 4 hits through 6 innings.

Cubs at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Cubs 3

Money line

The lefty-righty matchup on the mound plays into an S.F. advantage in platoon splits. The Giants’ 12-19 record in 1-run games somewhat unfairly colors bettors’ current opinions.

PASS: the San Francisco and Under leans don’t mix.

Over/Under

Both clubs have some Under lean in their overall runs-versus-expected runs figures. On a 55-degree night, both starters have shown just enough of late to tilt than lean into action.

The Chicago Cubs (40-58) continue their 4-game series with the San Francisco Giants (49-50) Friday at Oracle Park. First pitch for the 2nd game of this series is set for 10:15 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Cubs vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

San Francisco won the series opener 4-2 Thursday as Chicago’s defense faltered, committing 2 errors and allowing 4 unearned runs. Thursday’s  meeting was their 1st of the season.

Cubs at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Cubs 5, Giants 4

Money line

BET 0.75 UNITS on the CUBS (+120) because the Giants (-145) are still getting priced like they were last season despite not being nearly as profitable.

San Francisco is just 17-19 overall as home favorites of -130 or less this year with a minus-23.3% return on investment (ROI) and an average deficit of 4.28-4.19.

Also, Chicago’s lineup is slightly better than San Francisco’s vs. right-handed pitching in wRC+ (100-99), wOBA (.314-.306) and hard-hit rate (30.2-29.8%), according to FanGraphs.

I’m hesitant to lay a full unit on Chicago’s ML because Cobb grades much higher than Stroman in several advanced pitching metrics, per Statcast.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS with a heavy “lean” towards parlaying the Cubs +1.5 (-180) with another similarly priced line for a better payout since Chicago is 24-15 RL as road underdogs and the Giants -1.5 (+145) are 13-30 RL as home favorites.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 7.5 (-107) because these teams have a combined 16-11 O/U record when these starters are on the mound.

But, the Under 7.5 (-115) is more expensive despite most of the market backing the Over, according to Pregame.com, which is suspicious.

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.

The San Francisco Giants (48-48) take on the Arizona Diamondbacks (43-53) Tuesday in the 2nd of a 4-game set at Chase Field. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Arizona leads 4-3.

The Giants haven’t won a game in the 2nd half and are on a 5-game skid after Monday’s 7-0 loss to the D-backs. San Fran was only able to muster up 3 hits in the power outage. Ace LHP Carlos Rodon looks to turn the tides and rebound from 5 ER allowed to the Dodgers in his last start.

Arizona got a gem from RHP Merrill Kelly Monday as he struck out 7 and allowed 3 hits over 8 scoreless frames. He’s now 10-5 with a 3.04 ERA on the season with little fanfare. C Carson Kelly is also on a bit of a heater with a 6-game hitting streak that has raised his average from .181 to .221. Arizona has now won 4 of its last 5.

Giants at Diamondbacks projected starters

Rodon (8-5, 2.95 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 11.3 K/9 in 110 IP.

  • Allowed 4 ER on 5 H, 2 BB with 7 K in 5 IP July 4 vs. Arizona.

Gilbert (0-3, 5.34 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 1.25 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 5.3 K/9 in 30 1/3 IP.

  • Allowed 1 ER on 4 H, 1 BB with 2 K in 3 2/3 IP vs. SF July 5

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 4

Money line

There is a lot trending in Arizona’s favor — except the books. For a team 10 games under .500, Arizona is 25-27 at home while San Fran is 22-26 on the road. Throw in the 5-game losing streak, Rodon’s bad start last time out and bad start against the D-backs, and there’s no way we’re laying -200 on the Giants. We’ll avoid trusting Arizona’s 7th-worst bullpen ERA at 4.26 and roll with the GIANTS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

Three of the last 4 losses by Arizona have been by 1 run. They’ve also won 4 of 5 games, which means there’s a lot of positive correlation with their run line. Speaking of the run line, they’re 55-41 on it this season, which is excellent for a team 10 games under .500. We’ll roll with the DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Over is just 3-4 in this series in 2022. Arizona has scored 7 runs or more in 3 of the last 4 games. One would argue they’re the team to worry about in this Over scenario. Wait until closer to first pitch to see if the line moves in your direction, but LEAN OVER 8.5 (-112).

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Giants 3

Money line

The Dodgers are just playing so well. In addition to having taken the first 2 games of this series, they have won 6 in a row, 13 of 14 and 17 of 20. They have won Urias’ last 6 starts.

The Giants won 7 of 9 games before the All-Star break but it is hard to bet against the Dodgers right now.

That said, PASS on the money line. At -180, it isn’t worth the action, especially with a better bet available with the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 45-48 ATS overall this season but they are 27-18 ATS on the road. They failed to cover the spread in either game of this series so far.

The Dodgers are 27-18 ATS at home. They have covered the spread in 5 straight games and in 14 of their last 20. Fifty-five of their 62 wins were by at least 2 runs.

This is the bet to take. Take DODGERS -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under

Four of the 7 games between the Giants and Dodgers have had 7 or fewer total runs. The totals so far in this series have been 15 and 6.

Urias’ last 4 starts, and 5 of his last 6 starts, have had at least 8 runs.

The last 3 starts for Wood, and 6 of his last 7 starts, have had totals of at least 8 runs.

Take OVER 7.5 (-125).

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 3, Dodgers 2

Money line

BET 0.75 units on the GIANTS (+102) because we are getting to the party way late in San Francisco. Early “sharp action” steamed the Giants from a +143 opener down to the current price according to Pregame.com.

Rodon has stellar advanced pitching numbers vs. the Dodgers and pitching on 6 or more days of rest is Rodon’s best rest split.

The lefty has a .191/.235/.254 expected batting average, wOBA, slugging percentage slash line and an 86 mph exit velocity in 78 plate appearances vs. active Dodgers batters, per Statcast, and his 3.26 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 3.08 K/BB rate are his career bests across all rest splits.

BET the GIANTS (+102).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Giants +1.5 (-205) are appropriately over-priced given this spot, in which San Francisco is 12-6 RL as a road underdog while Los Angeles is 25-18 RL as a home favorite.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-110).

A slight majority of the action is on the Over 7.5 (-110) but the total has crept down from an 8.5-run opener, per Pregame.com. This type of “reverse line movement” is suspicious because common sense is oddsmakers would adjust the lines according to market movement.

However, it’s only a LEAN to the UNDER 7.5 (-110) because the market analysis is my only real handicapping angle on the total of Giants-Dodgers.

Brewers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Brewers 2

Money line

The Brewers have been held to 3 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 4 games. They have not lost more than 2 in a row since dropping 8 straight from June 3-11.

They have lost 5 of Ashby’s last 6 starts.

The Giants are 11-7 with Webb on the mound this season.

Take the GIANTS (-150).

Run line/Against the spread

The Brewers managed to cover the spread in Saturday’s game, but they have only covered the spread twice in their last 10 games. They are 24-28 ATS on the road.

The Giants, though, are only 17-30 ATS at home this season. They are 7-4 ATS in their last 11 games.

But with Webb on the mound against Ashby, who had a really rough stretch in June, I say take the GIANTS -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

Three of the 4 games between the 2 teams this season as have had 7 or fewer runs.

Nine of the Giants’ last 15 games have had 8 or more total runs.

Three of the Brewers’ last 6 have had 8 or more runs.

I LEAN OVER 7.5 (-120).

Brewers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Giants 4

Money line

BET BREWERS (+110).

They have the fresher bullpen, an edge in the starting pitching matchup and there’s “reverse-line movement” headed toward Milwaukee in the betting market.

More than 60% of the bets placed are on the Giants (-135) according to VegasInsider.com, but San Francisco’s ML has been lowered from a -141 opener.

The Brew Crew are 5-4 – with a plus-23.9% return on investment – as road underdogs vs. right-handed starters.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Even though I’d love some insurance for our Milwaukee ML wager, the Brewers +1.5 (-190) is appropriately priced and too expensive. They are 11-4 ATS as road underdogs, while the Giants are 11-29 ATS as home favorites.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 7.5 (-130). The price suggests the Over is the “sharper” play and both bullpens could be fatigued.

However, the betting splits and situational O/U trends don’t provide much of a clue, so I can only LEAN OVER 7.5 (-130).
