San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (67-67) and Milwaukee Brewers (76-56) meet for the finale of a 3-game series Thursday. First pitch from American Family Field is set for 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

Milwaukee beat San Francisco 5-3 Wednesday as a -162 home favorite. The Brewers scored 5 runs in the 5th inning to go up 5-0 before allowing the Giants to score 3, but they were able to escape the late scare.

RHP Freddy Peralta was credited with the win as he pitched 6 scoreless innings, allowing only 2 hits and 3 walks with 8 K’s. The win snapped a 2-game skid for Milwaukee, while the Giants have lost 2 of their last 3.

Giants at Brewers projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. RHP Aaron Civale

Birdsong (3-3, 4.57 ERA) makes his 11th start. He has a 1.37 WHIP, 5.2 BB/9 and 10.7 K/9 through 45 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 4 BB, 5 K in 6-5 setback at Seattle Mariners Friday
  • Has never faced Brewers

Civale (4-8, 4.84 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 through 128 1/3 innings with the Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 4 BB, 3 K in 11-3 victory at Oakland A’s Friday
  • Career vs. San Francisco: 1-1, 2.70 ERA (10 IP, 3 ER), 1.10 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 in 2 starts

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 7, Giants 6

Moneyline

LEAN BREWERS (-135).

Milwaukee is 3-1 in its last 4 home games and 6-4 in its last 10 overall, while the Giants are only 5-5 in their last 10 overall and 2-3 in their last 5 on the road.

The Brewers have also won 2 of the 3 meetings between these teams.

This is a lean because San Francisco is 4-2 in the last 6 meetings in Milwaukee.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

In a game where each team is so evenly matched, I always recommend betting on the underdog, in this case San Francisco, to cover. However, with the line set at +1.5 (-200), the Giants are favored far too heavily to risk betting on. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-115).

The Over is 3-1-1 in Milwaukee’s last 5 games and 4-0-2 in San Francisco’s last 6. The Over has also hit in 2 of the last 3 meetings.

San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (67-66) and Milwaukee Brewers (75-56) play the middle contest of a 3-game set Wednesday at American Family Field. First pitch will be at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 1-0

San Francisco took Tuesday’s series lid-lifter 5-4. The Giants hit 3 home runs and have 9 round-trippers over their last 4 contests.

Milwaukee was denied a 6th straight win at home with Tuesday’s setback. Brewers pitching has clocked a 3.22 ERA while the club has gone 8-4 since Aug. 14.

Giants at Brewers projected starters

LHP Kyle Harrison vs. RHP Freddy Peralta

Harrison (7-5, 4.00 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has authored a 1.30 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 through 117 innings.

  • Last outing: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 5-3 home victory vs. Chicago White Sox Aug. 19
  • 2024 road stats: 3-4, 4.61 ERA (56 2/3 IP, 29 ER), 1.39 WHIP, 7.3 K/9 in 11 starts
  • Has never faced Brewers

Peralta (8-7, 3.86 ERA) is making his 27th start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 10.4 K/9 through 142 1/3 innings.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 3-0 defeat at St. Louis Cardinals Thursday
  • 2024 home stats: 4-4, 4.30 ERA (73 1/3 IP, 35 ER), 1.16 WHIP, 10.3 K/9 in 13 starts
  • Career vs. Giants: 0-1, 6.75 ERA (5 1/3 IP, 4 ER), 8 H, 5 BB, 10 K in 3 appearances (2 starts), including 0-1 with 15.43 ERA (2 1/3 IP, 4 ER) in 1 start last year
  • Owns 3.26 ERA over his last 12 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

PASS: look to the run line for better leverage here.

Run line/Against the spread

Looking at recent starts could well lead to some off-the-mark recency bias for both hurlers, giving too much of an edge to Peralta and the Brewers.

Both clubs have played more 1-run games than the league average (36 per Baseball-Reference.com). The Giants have played 40 and the Brewers have played 42.

Milwaukee has slashed a mere .190/.274/.350 (.625 OPS) while averaging just 3.31 runs per game over its last 13 home games.

BACK THE GIANTS +1.5 (-155).

Over/Under

The Over is 35-22-6 in Milwaukee home games.

Tuesday’s game edged on the Over, and the Over is 3-1 across the last 4 series meetings. The upside has also hit in 10 of the Giants’ last 15 games on the road.

The expected-vs.-actual run scoring/prevention numbers for both clubs make for an Over lean here.

Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 8 (-110).

The San Francisco Giants (66-66) and Milwaukee Brewers (75-55) clash in the Tuesday opener of a 3-game series. First pitch at American Family Field will be at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Giants won 2023 series 5-2

San Francisco is continuing a road trip that opened with the Giants losing 2 of 3 at the Seattle Mariners Friday-Sunday. The club is 5-8 across the last 13 games.

Milwaukee is back at home after a 3-3 road trip. The Brewers are seeking their 6th straight triumph at home.

Giants at Brewers projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. RHP Tobias Myers

Webb (11-8, 3.13 ERA) is making his 28th start. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 172 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 8 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 0 BB, 6 K in 6-2 loss vs. Chicago White Sox Wednesday
  • Career vs. Brewers: 2-0, 1.73 ERA (26 IP, 5 ER), 15 H, 5 BB, 35 K in 4 starts
  • Has clocked an 0.96 ERA over his last 5 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Brewers 4

Moneyline

Peg Myers as a fade candidate. He’s been allowing some loud contact of late and for this rookie season owns an expected ERA significantly higher than the surface mark he’s toting around.

Webb has been getting deep into games and is in solid form.

BET THE GIANTS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

Too. Much. Juice. PASS.

Over/Under

Even at this late date, its still possible to find some strength-of-schedule inequities with some teams. One that stands out is Milwaukee’s run prevention. The Brewers have collectively played a weaker-than-average batting opponent.

Playing this alongside the Myers fade, and adding in Webb being generally a stronger option in home starts (4.11 road ERA) makes the OVER 7.5 (-110) as solid bet.

San Francisco Giants at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (66-65) and Seattle Mariners (65-65) wrap up a 3-game interleague series Sunday. First pitch from T-Mobile Park is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

These teams have been fairly evenly matched in the 1st 2 games of the series. The Mariners picked up a 6-5 win in Friday’s series opener, handing interim manager Dan Wilson his 1st career victory after Scott Servais was dismissed Thursday.

The Giants picked up a 4-3 win as short ‘dogs (+100) on Saturday, cashing the Over (6) ever so slightly. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for San Francisco.

For the Mariners, they’re still just 2-9 in the past 11 games since a 15-1 rout in Detroit on Aug. 13. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row, and the total has gone high at a 6-1-1 clip in the previous 8 outings.

Giants at Mariners projected starters

LHP Robbie Ray vs. RHP Bryan Woo

Ray (3-2, 4.88 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 12.7 K/9 in 27 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 9 K in 4-1 home victory vs. Chicago White Sox Tuesday
  • 2024 road splits: 2-0, 2.70 ERA (10 IP, 3 ER), 0.60 WHIP, .091 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 3 BB, 17 K in 2 starts
  • Career vs. Mariners: 1-1, 3.60 ERA (30 IP, 12 ER), 4 HR, 1.30 WHIP, 10.2 K/9 in 5 starts

Woo (5-2, 2.12 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 0.83 WHIP, 1.0 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 80 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 2 H (1 HR), 2 BB, 5 K in 3-0 road setback vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Monday
  • 2024 home splits: 3-0, 1.54 ERA (35 IP, 6 ER), 0.69 WHIP, .172 OBA, 1 HR, 3 BB, 28 K in 6 starts
  • Career vs. Giants: No-decision, 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H (1 HR), 2 BB, 7 K in 6-5 road victory July 3, 2023, in only previous appearance

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 3, Giants 2

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-142) are a worth a look in the series finale Sunday, as Woo has been nearly untouchable at home.

Woo has allowed just 6 ER and 3 BB in 35 IP across 6 home starts this season. Seattle has had a lot of trouble with consistency lately, but Woo definitely hasn’t been the problem.

The Giants (+120) aren’t going to go quietly, as Ray has been pretty solid on the road, too. But you have to side with Woo, especially at home.

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants +1.5 (-178) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return if you’d like a little insurance, and you just can’t take the visitors straight up.

That’s way too much risk and not nearly enough reward. If you like San Francisco, just bet it straight up.

AVOID.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 7 (+100) is worth playing a look with this pitching matchup between Ray and Woo. We should see plenty of donuts from both of these pitchers.

While playing the Under is going against the trends for Seattle, since the Over is 6-1-1 in the past 8 outings, that lone Under is when Woo pitched. In fact, the Under has cashed in each of the past 3 starts by the Seattle right-hander.

For the Giants, the Under has a slight 5-4-1 edge in the past 10 games, but be careful. The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 road outings for San Francisco, including the first 2 games of this series.

San Francisco Giants at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (65-64) and Seattle Mariners (64-64) open a 3-game interleague series Friday. First pitch from T-Mobile Park is set for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Mariners won 2-1 last year

The big news out of Seattle Thursday was that Scott Servais was relieved of his managerial duties, as the Mariners blew a 10-game lead in the AL West, slipping to .500 since mid-June. The final straw was a 1-8 performance on the team’s recent road trip.

The last time the Mariners were at home they swept the New York Mets in an interleague series. They’ll look to interim manager Dan Wilson to try and snap them back on track.

The Over is 4-1-1 in the past 6 games for the Mariners, but the Under is 5-2 in the past 7 outings at home.

For the Giants, they suffered a 6-2 loss at home against the Chicago White Sox Wednesday, but San Francisco still won 2 of 3 games in the series. The Giants are 4-1 in the past 5 outings, with the Under 3-1-1 in the span.

On the road, San Francisco has won 3 in a row while going 5-1 in the past 6 outings. The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 road contests for the Giants, too.

Giants at Mariners projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. RHP Luis Castillo

Birdsong (3-3, 5.01 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.38 WHIP, 4.8 BB/9 and 10.7 K/9 in 41 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 K in 2-0 road setback vs. Oakland A’s Saturday
  • 2024 road splits: 2-2, 5.64 ERA (22 1/3 IP, 14 ER), 1.39 WHIP, .235 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 12 BB, 28 K in 5 starts
  • Has never faced Mariners

Castillo (10-12, 3.51 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.17 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 153 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H (2 HR), 3 BB, 6 K in 7-2 road setback vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday
  • 2024 home splits: 6-5, 2.85 ERA (85 1/3 IP, 27 ER), 1.07 WHIP, .232 OBA, 8 HR, 16 BB, 94 K in 14 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Giants 3

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-152) are a nice play as moderate favorites, as Seattle gets the bump with the managerial move.

Seattle is back home, too, and that should snap it back into form. The M’s have won 4 in a row in front of the home fans, while San Francisco has a losing record across the past 17 road contests, going 8-9.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re really adventurous, and the moneyline doesn’t get it for you, take the MARINERS -1.5 (+136). Seattle has just 4 wins since Aug. 9, but each of the wins were by 4 or more runs.

The Giants +1.5 (-164) are an impressive 10-3 in the past 13 games as underdogs on the run line, but they’re facing a Mariners team which had a fire lit under it with the dismissal of its skipper.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (-106) is the lean, but go with a small-unit play at best.

The Over is 7-3 in the past 10 meetings between these West Coast interleague foes.

And while the Giants have cashed the Under at a 3-1-1 pace in the past 5 outings, the Over has an 8-7-1 edge in the previous 16 contests. For the Mariners, the Over is 4-1-1 in the past 6 outings, too.

Chicago White Sox at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago White Sox (30-97) and San Francisco Giants (65-63) wrap up a 3-game series Wednesday. First pitch from Oracle Park is set for 3:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 2-0

The White Sox look to avoid an interleague series sweep after suffering a 4-1 loss as +212 underdogs Tuesday as the Under (7.5) cashed. The Giants have outscored the ChiSox 9-4 in the first 2 games of the series, and the Chicago offense has been limited to just 5 runs in the past 4 games for a 1.25 runs per game (RPG) average. It’s no surprise the Under is 3-0-1 in that span.

The Giants have rattled off 3 consecutive wins to get above the .500 mark, while allowing just 8 runs in the previous 5 outings for a 1.6 RPG average. Like Chicago, the Under is 3-0-1 in San Francisco’s past 4 contests.

Chicago heads into this game just 12-53 on the road, while posting a league-worst minus-263 run differential. The ChiSox are also an MLB-worst 10-29 in interleague play.

San Francisco has managed a 38-27 record at home, while going 17-19 against the American League.

White Sox at Giants projected starters

LHP Garrett Crochet vs. RHP Logan Webb

Crochet (6-9, 3.61 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 12.7 K/9 in 124 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 9 K in 5-4 win at Houston Astros Friday
  • 2024 road splits: 2-3, 3.91 ERA (53 IP, 23 ER), 1.09 WHIP, .205 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 8 HR, 11.5 K/9 in 11 starts
  • Has never faced Giants

Webb (11-8, 3.17 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 164 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 7 K in 6-0 home shutout of Atlanta Braves Thursday
  • 2024 home splits: 7-3, 2.26 ERA (83 2/3 IP, 21 ER), 1.00 WHIP, .223 OBA, 1 complete game, 3 HR, 7.0 K/9, in 12 starts
  • Career vs. White Sox: 0-2, 5.73 ERA (11 IP, 7 ER), 1.45 WHIP, 1 BB, 9 K in 2 starts

White Sox at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, White Sox 2

Moneyline

The Giants (-230) will cost 2.3 times the potential return. That’s quite risky …  even against a 97-loss team.

San Francisco covered the run line in the first 2 games of this series, winning each contest by 2 or more runs as the favorite. However, there is still plenty of risk.

PASS and look to the favorite on the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The GIANTS -1.5 (-102) are a solid play as favorites, although be careful, as Crochet is easily the best White Sox starting pitcher.

It isn’t going to be easy, but once San Francisco gets to the Chicago bullpen, the Giants should have enough offense to pull ahead by at least 2 runs to complete the series sweep.

Over/Under

UNDER 7 (-110) is the lean but only for a half-unit play to be on the safe side.

We’ve seen the Under go 1-0-1 in the first 2 games of this series, with Chicago averaging 2.0 RPG and San Francisco scoring 4.5 RPG. If this finale follows along the same lines, we’ll get another Under result, even if just barely.

Chicago White Sox at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago White Sox (30-96) and San Francisco Giants (64-63) play the middle contest of a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Oracle Park is set for 9:45 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 1-0

The White Sox dropped the interleague series opener 5-3 on Monday night, the team’s 3rd consecutive setback. Chicago, already eliminated from the playoffs, is just 4 losses away from hitting 100 for the 2nd straight season.

With Monday’s loss, Chicago is now just 12-52 on the road, while going 10-28 in interleague play. Facing southpaws has been a chore, too, as the White Sox are just 6-19 against left-handed starting pitchers.

The Giants have won 3 of the past 4 outings, outscoring the opposition 15-7. The Under is 3-0-1 in that span, while going 5-1-1 in the past 7 outings.

San Francisco is 16-19 in interleague play, but 45-40 against a right-handed starting pitcher. The Giants are 37-27 at home, too.

White Sox at Giants projected starters

RHP Davis Martin vs. LHP Robbie Ray

Martin (0-1, 3.00 ERA) makes his 4th start and 5th appearance. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 5.0 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 in 18 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 4 H (solo HR), 3 BB, 5 K in 10-2 home setback vs. New York Yankees last Wednesday
  • 2024 road splits: 0-1, 3.72 ERA (9 2/3 IP, 4 ER), 1.24 WHIP, .229 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 4 BB, 9 K in 2 starts
  • Has never faced Giants

Ray (2-2, 6.00 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.33 WHIP, 5.1 BB/9 and 12.9 K/9 in 21 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 1 H (1 HR), 3 BB, 2 K in 13-2 home loss vs. Atlanta Braves last Wednesday
  • 2024 home splits: 0-2, 9.00 ERA (11 IP, 11 ER), 2.00 WHIP, .317 OBA, 4 HR, 9 BB, 13 K in 3 starts
  • Career vs. White Sox: 0-1, 3.66 ERA (19 2/3 IP, 8 ER), 3 BB, 31 K in 3 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

White Sox at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, White Sox 2

Moneyline

The Giants (-260) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for standalone wager, even if the White Sox (+215) are a horrific team which loses more than 3 times the amount of games they win.

PASS, and look to the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The GIANTS -1.5 (+120) are a much better play at plus-money on the run line.

San Francisco barely covered 5-3 in Monday’s series opener, but Matt Chapman’s homer in the 6th inning made a huge difference. San Francisco has won 3 in a row, and each victory has come by 2 or more runs. So, if you like the Giants to win, you should also like them to get the job done on the run line.

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (-128) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

You’ll be going against the trends a bit, as the Under is 4-1-1 in the past 6 games for San Francisco. However, the Over is 3-2 in Ray’s 5 starts with the Giants so far this season.

For the White Sox, the Under is 2-0-1 in the past 3 outings, but the White Sox have allowed 27 runs in the past 5 contests, or 5.4 runs per game. Look for San Francisco to do most of the heavy lifting.

You may love betting on sports, but until college football and the NFL seasons officially start, the pickings can get slim. You can fill some of that time and scratch that itch at online casinos and enjoy slots, blackjack, video poker and more.

White Sox at Giants projected starters

RHP Jonathan Cannon vs. LHP Kyle Harrison

Cannon (2-6, 4.02 ERA) makes his 14th start and 16th appearance. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 80 2/3 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

White Sox at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, White Sox 2

Moneyline

At this point, why would anyone bet the White Sox to win? They lost 21 straight games and are 3-28 in their last 31 games. They have baseball’s worst road record at 12-51. They have lost 6 of Cannon’s last 7 starts.

The Giants are 36-27 at home.

But betting the Giants at -250 isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Fourteen of Chicago’s last 17 losses have been by 2 or more runs. The Sox are 26-36 ATS as road dogs.

Eight of the Giants’ last 9 wins have been by multiple runs.

BET GIANTS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The White Sox have scored 2 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 7 games while the Giants have allowed 2 or fewer runs in 3 straight games and in their last 4 wins.

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

San Francisco Giants at Oakland A’s odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s San Francisco Giants vs. Oakland A’s odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (62-63) and Oakland A’s (53-70) wrap up a 2-game interleague series Sunday. First pitch from Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is set for 4:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. A’s odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: A’s lead 2-1

In Saturday’s game between these Bay Area rivals, the A’s picked up a 2-0 home win behind RHP Osvaldo Bido, who tossed 6 scoreless innings for the 2nd consecutive outing. The Giants were limited to a total of just 4 hits in the shutout loss.

The Giants have dropped 5 of the past 6 games, while scoring 3 or fewer runs in 4 of the previous 5 contests. San Francisco’s offense is averaging just 2.6 runs per game (RPG) in the past 7 outings, with the Under going 5-2 in the span since Aug. 9.

The A’s are aiming for a 4th straight series win on Sunday. The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 outings for the A’s, but the Under is 7-4 in the past 11 contests.

Giants at A’s projected starters

LHP Blake Snell vs. LHP JP Sears

Snell (2-3, 3.91 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 11.9 K/9 in 69 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 11 K in 1-0 home loss in 10 innings Monday vs. Atlanta Braves
  • 2024 road splits: 2-1, 5.08 ERA (28 1/3 IP, 16 ER), 1.06 WHIP, .178 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 12 BB, 32 K in 5 starts (1 complete game)

Sears (10-8, 4.32 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 133 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 3 ER, 3 H (1 HR), 3 BB, 4 K in 8-4 road victory vs. Toronto Blue Jays last Sunday
  • 2024 home splits: 6-4, 4.68 ERA (57 2/3 IP, 30 ER), 1.20 WHIP, .259 OBA, 6 HR, 12 BB, 40 K in 11 starts
  • 2024 vs. Giants: Win, 7 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 9 K in 5-2 road victory July 30 in only career appearance vs. SF

  • Moneyline (ML): Giants -178 (bet $178 to win $100) | A’s +150 (bet $100 to win $150)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Giants -1.5 (-108) | A’s +1.5 (-111)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 7.5 (O: -102 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, A’s 3

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-178) are worth playing behind Snell, if you’re a little more on the conservative side.

Snell has racked up a 2-0 record with a 1.27 ERA, just 6 H allowed, 7 BB and 30 K across 21 1/3 IP in 3 starts in August, including a no-hitter in Cincinnati on Aug. 2.

The toothless A’s (+150) offense will have tremendous difficulty trying to solve the red-hot veteran.

Run line/Against the spread

The A’S +1.5 (-111) are worth a play if you can’t play Oakland straight up, and you’d like a little bit of insurance.

While the Giants are a good play behind Snell, San Francisco might have some difficulty against the southpaw Sears. The Giants are just 18-23 this season against left-handed starting pitchers.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-120) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play.

While the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for the A’s, the Under is 7-4 across the previous 11 outings, and 3-0 against the Giants this season.

For the Giants, the Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 outings, with the San Francisco offense scratching out just 18 runs in the past 7 games, or 2.6 RPG.

San Francisco Giants at Oakland A’s odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Oakland A’s (52-70) welcome the San Francisco Giants (62-62) to Oakland Coliseum for the 1st of their 2-game series. First pitch is set for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. A’s odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The A’s beat the New York Mets in 2 of 3 in their last series, winning the series finale 7-6 Thursday. They closed as an underdog of +160 or longer in each. Oakland has won 4 of its last 5 and beat the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox in 2 of 3 in both of its series prior. It is 65-57 against the spread (ATS) this season. The A’s are 29-30 at home.

The Giants, who are 26-35 on the road, lost 3 of 4 to the Atlanta Braves at home in their last series. They did come out on top in the final game 6-0. Despite losing 4 of their last 5 games, the Giants have won 6 of their last 11. They are 58-65 ATS on the season.

Giants at A’s projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. RHP Osvaldo Bido

Birdsong (3-2, 5.40 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 4.7 BB/9 and 10.8 K/9 through 36 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 5 K in a 5-4 home loss to the Detroit Tigers Sunday
  • 2024 away stats: 2-1, 6.62 ERA (17 2/3 IP, 13 ER), 1.42 WHIP, 11.7 K/9 in 4 starts
  • Has yet to face A’s

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 5 K in a 1-0 road win over the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday

Giants at A’s odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:40 a.m. ET.

  • Moneyline (ML): Giants -124 (bet $124 to win $100) | A’s +106 (bet $100 to win $106)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Giants -1.5 (+136) | A’s +1.5 (-162)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 8 (O: -105 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

A’s 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

BET A’S (+106).

Oakland has performed well in Bido’s last 2 starts. Despite going 1-1, it has allowed a total of 3 runs. That should bode well for it as it has picked up its batting as of late, scoring at least 7 runs in 3 of its last 4 games. The A’s have won 4 of their last 5, all of which were on the road.

The Giants are on the flip side of that and have struggled lately. They have lost Birdsong’s last 2 starts and have scored 3 or fewer in 3 of their last 4 games. Couple those trends and back the home side. Take A’S (+106).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The A’s are a better value on the moneyline than as a far more expensive run-line underdog. The Giants, given Birdsong’s performances over the last few games, aren’t worth a play as a run-line favorite.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-105).

The Giants have allowed a whopping 17 runs in the last 3 games and have gone Over in 2 of their last 5. They are 64-56-3 O/U on the season, so they have trended Over for most of the year. San Francisco has gone Over in Birdsong’s last 2 starts as well.

The A’s, who have been hot offensively, have gone Over in 4 straight games, scoring 25 runs in their last 4 and allowing 23 in those games. Considering those trends, back OVER 8 (-105).
