Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (3-4) and San Francisco Giants (3-3) kick off a three-game series Friday at 4:35 p.m. ET at Oracle Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Austin Gomber is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He surrendered three runs (one earned) in three innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field Sunday, while walking seven. Gomber went 1-1 with a 1.86 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 8.4 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9 across 29 IP in 14 games (10 starts) last year with the St. Louis Cardinals. His skills didn’t come close to supporting the results, as a .243 BABIP and 4% HR/F were the primary drivers behind his success.

RHP Johnny Cueto is the Giants’ projected starter. In his first outing of the season, he lasted 5 2/3 innings against the Seattle Mariners, allowing three earned runs while racking up seven strikeouts. Cueto is coming off a 2020 season in which he went 2-3 with a 5.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 8.0 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 63 1/3 IP over 12 starts. He has made 45 career starts in Oracle Park (formerly AT&T Park), where he has posted a 16-12 record with a 3.92 ERA and 7.2 K/9.

Rockies at Giants odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 1:10 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Rockies +135 (bet $100 to win $135) | Giants -160 (bet $160 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +1.5 (-140) | Giants -1.5 (+115)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Giants 6, Rockies 4

Money line (ML)

Despite the sub-2.00 ERA Gomber recorded in 2020, his career 4.5 BB/9 makes him pretty difficult to trust. The Giants, who were third in wRC+ vs. lefties in 2020, should have a slight edge on starting pitching, and will be playing at home. Cueto isn’t the pitcher he used to be, so don’t go all in, but SAN FRANCISCO (-160) is the play in this game.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Giants are averaging just 3.33 runs per game to this point, with two of their three wins coming by a single run. Playing at home slightly lessens the chance of winning by multiple runs, so while the Giants should come out on top, this looks like a line to PASS on.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under has hit in the Giants’ last four games, and in four of the last five for the Rockies. But even in a pitchers’ park, neither of these starting pitchers are likely to shut down the opposition, and Gomber’s control issues leave him prone to a big inning. Side with the OVER 8.5 (-110).

San Francisco Giants at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Francisco Giants at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (2-3) and San Diego Padres (4-2) close out a three-game series with a Wednesday matinee at Petco Park. First pitch will be at 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Kevin Gausman is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants. Last year, the veteran hurler went 3-3 with a 3.62 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 11.9 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 in 59 2/3 IP over 12 appearances. Gausman allowed just four base runners in 6 2/3 IP in his 2021 debut vs. Seattle.

LHP Blake Snell takes the pill for the Padres. In 2020 with Tampa Bay, Snell went 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA, 1.2 WHIP, 11.3 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 in 50 IP over 11 starts. The 28-year-old went 4 2/3 scoreless frames in his Padres debut (April 2 vs. Arizona). Snell walked two and punched out eight.

Giants at Padres odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 7:50 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Giants +135 (bet $100 to win $135) | Padres -160 (bet $160 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Giants +1.5 (-150) | Padres -1.5 (+125)
  • Over/Under: 7.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Padres 5, Giants 3

Money line (ML)

Peg Kevin Gausman as a bounce-back candidate after his fine season debut against the Mariners. Gausman has a history as a slow starter (.770 OPS allowed in March/April appearances).

The Padres are without SS Fernando Tatis, Jr. (shoulder), and that may be impacting San Diego fade bettors a bit too much. A year ago, the Friars went 8-2 against the Giants, and overall San Diego was a robust 21-11 on its home turf.

TAKE SAN DIEGO -160.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Padres went 8-2 against the Giants last season and outscored San Francisco 59-35. San Diego won more than one-third of its games by 5-plus runs in 2020.

CONSIDER PADRES -1.5 (+125) AS A SMALLER-UNIT PLAY IN WEDNESDAY’S MATINEE GET-AWAY GAME.

Over/Under (O/U)

The NL West foes have split two low-scoring games so far in the series.  The best arms in the bullpens are a bit less available for this one. Peg the rubber match as a line watch: consider the evenly priced OVER 7.5 (-115).

San Francisco Giants at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Francisco Giants at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (2-2) and San Diego Padres (3-2) play the second game of a three-game set Tuesday at 10:10 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Aaron Sanchez is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants. He was 5-14 with a 5.89 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9 in 131 1/3 IP in his 27 starts in 2019 with the Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros. He hasn’t pitched in a Major League game since Aug. 20, 2019, after having reconstructive shoulder surgery.

RHP Yu Darvish is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 0-0 with a 7.71 ERA, 1.93 WHIP, 11.6 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 over 4 2/3 IP through his first start of the 2021 season. He hasn’t faced the Giants since Aug. 21, 2019, when he allowed 7 runs – 6 earned – and 7 hits in 5 1/3 innings with no walks and 8 strikeouts in a no-decision as a member of the Chicago Cubs.

Giants at Padres odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 1:20 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: Giants +170 (bet $100 to win $170) | Padres -200 (bet $200 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Giants +1.5 (-115) | Padres -1.5 (-105)
  • Over/Under: 7.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Padres 6, Giants 2

Money line (ML)

The Padres (-200) are a risky play at two times your potential return, although I do expect them to bounce back after losing the series opener.

San Diego’s offense should get back on track against Sanchez, although the Padres did lose SS Fernando Tatis Jr. to a left shoulder subluxation Monday. He will be forced to miss some time.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The PADRES -1.5 (-105) are a better play at near even money despite the lack of Tatis.

They’re facing a guy who hasn’t pitched in an MLB game since Aug. 2019. Sanchez could come in rather tentative, or he could be amped up which could lead to a lot of mistakes. Either way, it’s hard to imagine Sanchez keeping the Giants in this one.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 7.5 (-115) is the lean in Game 2 of this series.

Again, it has been a while since Sanchez has pitched, so the Padres should be able to jump all over him early.

San Francisco Giants at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

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

The San Francisco Giants (1-2) and San Diego Padres (3-1) tangle in a Monday night NL West series opener at Petco Park. First pitch will be at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Anthony DeSclafani is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants. Last year for the Cincinnati Reds, the veteran hurler went 1-2 with a 7.22 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, 6.7 K/9, and 4.3 BB/9 in 33 2/3 IP over nine games (seven starts). DeSclafani has allowed a mere .608 OPS in nine career March/April games.

LHP Adrian Morejon is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. In 2020, Morejon went 2-2 with a 4.66 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 11.6 K/9, and 1.9 BB/9 in 19 1/3 IP over nine appearances (four starts). The third-year Major Leaguer has big stuff; his ERA in 2020 was inflated by 39% of fly balls allowed leaving the yard. Morejon throws 96, and he induced a 13.0% swinging-strike rate last summer.

Prediction

Padres 4, Giants 3

Money line (ML)

DeSclafani had a solid spring and the Giants are the lean if any price bounce avails itself. The tag here plummeted in the morning.

Take the Giants if you can wait out a +130.

BACK THE GIANTS +1.5 (-150).

San Francisco figures to be at its best against lefty pitching.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under 8.5 (-115) is the lean, but on a humid night with an outward breeze and plenty of pitching uncertainly, a PASS is suggested.

San Francisco Giants at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s San Francisco Giants at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (1-1) and Seattle Mariners (1-1) continue their lid-lifting series with a Saturday 9:10 p.m. ET game at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Logan Webb gets the nod for the visiting Giants. He was 3-4 with a 5.47 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 in 54 1/3 IP over 13 appearances, including 11 starts. The young hurler faltered down the stretch after posting a 3.29 ERA through his first 27 1/3 innings.

RHP Chris Flexen is the projected starting pitcher for the Mariners. Last season with the New York Mets, he went 0-3 with a 6.59 ERA, 2.05 WHIP, 6.6 K/9 and 8.6 BB/9 in 13 2/3 IP over nine games, which included just one start. In his three-year career – all with the Mets – Flexen started 11 games and came out of the bullpen 16 times.

Giants at Mariners odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 12:20 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: Giants -120 (bet $120 to win $100) | Mariners +100 (bet $100 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Giants -1.5 (+135) | Mariners +1.5 (-160)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Giants 4, Mariners 3

Money line (ML)

San Francisco bounced back from an Opening Day, extra-inning setback to defeat the Mariners 6-3 Friday. Look for the Giants to make it two in a row Saturday.

Webb had a solid spring in Arizona (0.53 ERA in 17 IP), and he’s up against a Seattle nine which was woeful in its home yard a year ago (.655 OPS, 30th MLB).

The Giant’s season O/U is 74.5. They’re a club that registered a robust .834 OPS in going 21-15 over their last 36 games in 2020. If they can make enough hay when they aren’t playing the division rival and NL favorites Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, the Giants can clear that O/U with relative ease.

Back the GIANTS -120.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. This play adds juice, and with a likable Under, the extra-run cushion isn’t palatable.

Over/Under (O/U)

Both teams finishing in the bottom-third in offense this season is a solid possibility. Neither pen has been overwrought through two games, and T-Mobile is certainly a pitcher’s yard.

Take the UNDER 8.5 (-105).

San Francisco Giants at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s San Francisco Giants at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants and Seattle Mariners open their respective 2021 MLB seasons in a Thursday night game at 10:10 p.m. ET at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Kevin Gausman is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants. A year ago, the veteran right-hander went 3-3 with a 3.62 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 11.92 K/9 and 2.41 BB/9 over 59 2/3 IP spanning 12 appearances. Albeit in a shortened season, Gausman enjoyed a skills-breakout year in many respects.  He does, however, have a history of being a slow starter out of the gate with a .801 OPS allowed with lesser command in the first half.

LHP Marco Gonzales is the projected starter for the Mariners. His 2020 line included a 7-2 record with a 3.10 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 8.27 K/9 and 0.90 BB/9 over 69 2/3 IP in 11 starts. The 29-year-old southpaw owns a career 3.69 ERA at Seattle’s home park.

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:20 a.m. ET.

  • Over/Under: 8 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Giants 5, Mariners 4

Money line (ML)

Gonzales was buoyed by a .263 opponent batting average on balls in play last season. Look for regression in those numbers in 2021. The Giants figure to be at their best against lefty pitching.

Peg the visitors as worthy of being about a 10-to-15-cent favorite. There is value in SAN FRANCISCO (-105).

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS.

The Giants are a solid play as a side and the run line here has added juice.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Giants have more of an offensive attack than one might think. Their .785 OPS ranked sixth in the league last summer.

In terms of expected fielding-independent ERA (xFIP), both clubs ranked in MLB’s bottom-5 a year ago. Peg Gonzales as being severely overrated by his 2020 surface ERA.

It all adds up to value on the OVER 8 (-115).
