[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Rockies 2

Moneyline

The Rockies are playing well since the break, but that was all at home. Their 14-36 road record is better than only the Chicago White Sox (10-44). They are 3-9 in their last 12 road games.

Freeland has been fantastic since his return from the injured list, not allowing more than 2 ER in any of his 5 starts, but Harrison is 2-0 with a 1.58 in 3 starts against the Rockies.

But the -185 odds for the Giants to win is to pricey to bet here.

PASS. 

Run line/Against the spread

Of the Rockies’ last 15 road losses, 14 have been by multiple runs. Five of the Giants’ 6 wins over the Rockies have been by 2 or more runs.

Despite the Giants’ 21-29 ATS mark at home, they should cover Friday.

BET GIANTS -1.5 (+110).

Over/Under

Five of the 9 matchups between the 2 teams have had more than 8 total runs, but 3 of the last 4 stayed Under 8.

Eight of the Giants’ last 11 games have not gone Over 8 total runs.

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

The Giants, after losing the 1st 2 games of the series, came back on Wednesday with an 8-3 win with a 6-run 8th inning. They are 2-4 in their last 6 games.

RHP Logan Webb vs. LHP Clayton Kershaw

Webb (7-8, 3.59 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.27 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 130 1/3 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Giants 3

Moneyline

The return of Kershaw after 10 months is a big boost for the Dodgers, though don’t expect a long outing.

Webb, though, has been less effective in his last 2 outings and the Giants have not won consecutive games since July 4-5.

The Dodgers have won 8 of their 12 games against the Giants.

Expect the Dodgers to win but I’m looking at the run line for the plus odds and not these odds at -145.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 21-27 ATS following a win. The Dodgers are 23-18 ATS after a loss.

The Dodgers were 17-7 in Kershaw’s starts last season and 14 of those wins were by 2 or more runs.

Five of the last 6 wins the Dodgers have over the Giants are by 2 or more runs.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

Seven of the last 8 starts for Webb have not reached 9 total runs while 8 of the Giants’ last 10 games have stayed Under 9 runs.

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (48-54) and Los Angeles Dodgers (61-41) play the 3rd contest of a 4-game series. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 8-3

The Giants lost 5-2 in Tuesday’s game as the Dodgers (-149) won for the 5th consecutive outing.

The Dodgers improved to 8-3 in the season series, too, including a perfect 5-0 against the Giants in Los Angeles. The Under has cashed in each of the meetings in the current series. Los Angeles has gone low on the total in 7 of the past 10 games, too.

Los Angeles welcomes RHP Tyler Glasnow back from the 15-day injured list. He has been sidelined since July 5 due to a back ailment.

The Giants have dropped 4 of the past 5 games, all against NL West opponents, while going just 4-9 in the previous 13 contests. The Under is on a 7-0 run for San Francisco, as the Giants offense has amassed just 18 runs, or 2.6 runs per game.

San Francisco LHP Robbie Ray makes his debut for the Giants. He has been sidelined since March 31, 2023, after Tommy John surgery with the Seattle Mariners last season. Specifically, he had a flexor tendon tear repaired in his forearm.

Giants at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Robbie Ray vs. RHP Tyler Glasnow

Ray makes his season debut. He was 12-12 with a 3.71 ERA, 1.19 WHIP in 189 IP across 32 starts in 2022 with the Mariners, his last full season.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 1/3 IP, 3 ER (5 R), 4 H, 5 BB, 3 K in 9-4 home setback vs. Cleveland Guardians March 31, 2023, with Seattle — his only outing last year
  • 2022 road splits (most recent road stats): 6-6, 4.69 ERA (78 2/3 IP, 41 ER), 1.42 WHIP, .262 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 33 BB, 89 K in 14 starts
  • Career vs. Dodgers: 8-6, 3.39 ERA (124 2/3 IP, 47 ER), 1.23 WHIP, 17 HR, 11.9 K/9 in 21 starts

Glasnow (8-5, 3.47 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 0.93 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 11.8 K/9 in 109 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 5 ER, 3 H (1 HR), 2 BB, 7 K in 8-5 road win vs. Milwaukee Brewers July 5
  • 2024 home splits: 6-3, 3.63 ERA (62 IP, 25 ER), 0.89 WHIP, .190 OBA, 11 BB, 77 K in 10 starts
  • Career vs. Giants: 3-0, 3.52 ERA (23 IP, 9 ER), 1.22 WHIP, 1 HR, 9.4 K/9 in 5 appearances (4 starts)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Giants 2

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-188) are a little too pricey, costing nearly 2 times your potential return.

While Los Angeles has dominated this series lately, and they’re on a roll overall, the Giants (+158) have really struggled to plate runs. There are just too many variables. We have Ray coming back from a long-term injury, Glasnow returning from the 15-day injured list, etc.

AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re going to play the line, there is a lot less risk going with the DODGERS -1.5 (+114) on the run line.

Glasnow is returning from injury, but he won’t have nearly the same kind of rust as Ray. The Dodgers RHP is also facing a Giants offense that has struggled to score runs lately, so that will ease him back into action.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-104) might be the best play on the board.

San Francisco has scored 3 or fewer runs in each of the past 7 games, cashing the Under in all 7 of those contests.

Los Angeles has been a little more prolific offensively, going for 6.0 runs per game across the past 4 outings, but the Under is 4-2 in the past 6 games and 7-3 across the previous 10 contests.

San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (48-53) and Los Angeles Dodgers (60-41) play the 2nd contest of a 4-game series. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 7-3

The Giants suffered a 3-2 road loss against the Dodgers in Monday’s series opener, with Los Angeles cashing as the slight favorite (-112) as the Under (8.5) connected.

San Francisco has dropped 3 of the past 4 games, each against NL West divisional foes, and the Giants are just 4-8 across the past 12 outings. The Under has hit in 6 in a row, with the Giants offense totaling 16 runs, or 2.7 runs per outing.

Los Angeles has won 4 in a row, all at home. The Dodgers are 6-1 in the previous 7 outings at home, too. The Under is on a 6-3 run in the previous 9 contests for the Dodgers.

Giants at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Jordan Hicks vs. RHP Landon Knack

Hicks (4-6, 3.79 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.36 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 in 95 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 8 H (2 HR), 1 BB, 1 K in 5-3 home defeat vs. Toronto Blue Jays July 11
  • 2024 road splits: 2-3, 3.89 ERA (41 2/3 IP, 18 ER), 1.63 WHIP, .262 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 25 BB, 45 K in 9 starts

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 H (1 HR), 1 BB, 5 K in 5-1 road setback vs. Philadelphia Phillies July 11
  • 2024 home splits: 0-2, 3.32 ERA (19 IP, 7 ER), 0.95 WHIP, .191 OBA, 5 BB, 17 K in 4 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

The DODGERS (-138) are worth a look as moderate favorites as they look for the rebound in Game 2 of this series against the Giants (+118).

Los Angeles has picked up 4 straight wins, although 2 of the past 3 have been 1-run victories. The Dodgers have been money at home, too, winning 6 of the past 7 at Chavez Ravine.

Run line/Against the spread

The GIANTS +1.5 (-182) are a little on the expensive side as run-line underdogs. However, the Dodgers -1.5 (+150) haven’t had a ton of success with Knack on the hill lately.

In fact, the Dodgers are 0-3 SU in Knack’s past 3 starts since June 21, although it doesn’t help that Los Angeles has provided him with just 8 total runs of support in the 3-game span.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-104) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under has cashed at a 6-3 pace in the past 9 outings since July 10 for the Dodgers. Be careful, though, as the Over is 8-2 in 10 meetings with the Giants this season.

San Francisco is driving this Under train, with the total going low in 6 straight games for the Giants. However, the Over is 7-2 in the past 9 starts by Hicks.

San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (48-52) and Los Angeles Dodgers (59-41) open a 4-game set Monday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 6-3

The Giants are 4-7 in their last 11 games. They lost 2 out of 3 games to the Colorado Rockies coming out of the All-Star Break, but salvaged a 3-2 win in the Sunday finale as the Under (10.5) cashed in.

The Dodgers, who lost 6 of their final 7 games before the break, are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox. They wrapped up the series with a 9-6 win Sunday with the Over (8.5) cashing in.

Giants at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Blake Snell vs. RHP River Ryan

Snell (0-3, 6.31 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.43 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9 and 10.6 K/9 in 35 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 7 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 3-2 home win over Minnesota Twins July 14
  • Has thrown 12 scoreless innings in 2 July starts after allowing 3-plus runs in all 7 previous outings
  • Career vs. Dodgers (regular season): 2-2, 2.59 ERA (62 2/3 IP, 18 ER), 1.07 WHIP, 11.8 K/9 in 13 starts

Ryan makes his MLB debut. The 25-year-old right-hander was originally drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 11th round in 2021.

  • Top pitching prospect in organization
  • 2024 stats with Triple-A Oklahoma City: 0-0, 2.76 ERA (16 1/3 IP, 5 ER), 1.16 WHIP, 10.5 K/9 in 5 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Dodgers 3

Moneyline

The GIANTS (+110) are only 20-30 on the road this season and have not scored more than 3 runs in their last 6 games, but Snell appears to have returned to form with 2 scoreless starts in July.

Going against Ryan, who is making his MLB debut, should allow the Giants to get a lead early. The Dodgers have allowed 6 runs in each of their last 2 games.

BET GIANTS (+110).

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 25-24 ATS on the road, outperforming their outright win-loss record. But they are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5.

The Dodgers are 23-26 ATS at home.

But if you’re expecting the Giants to get the straight-up win at plus odds, betting them to cover at -185 doesn’t make sense value-wise.

PASS.

Over/Under

Six of the Giants’ last 7 games have not reached 9 total runs. Two of their 3 wins over the Dodgers this season have not reached 9 total runs.

While the Over is 8-1 in the 9 meetings this season, neither of Snell’s starts in July has reached 9 total runs.

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (47-52) and Colorado Rockies (36-63) wrap up a 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Coors Field is scheduled for 3:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 5-3

The Giants are looking to avoid the 3-game sweep in the series finale Sunday. San Francisco has been outscored 11-6 in the 1st 2 games of the series, failing to cash as a favorite in each outing as the Under hit in both.

The Rockies have won 3 in a row, tied for the most since a season-high 7-game winning streak from May 9-15. Prior to the All-Star break, Colorado had hit the Over in 6 games in a row, but the Under has hit in each game in this series.

Giants at Rockies projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. LHP Austin Gomber

Birdsong (1-0, 3.72 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.40 WHIP, 4.7 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 19 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 1 ER (2 R), 2 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 4-2 home loss vs. Minnesota Twins July 13
  • 2024 road splits: 1-0, 3.72 ERA (9 2/3 IP, 4 ER), 1.34 WHIP, .257 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 4 BB, 10 K in 2 starts
  • Has never faced Rockies

Gomber (2-6, 4.61 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 99 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 8-1 road setback vs. Cincinnati Reds July 11

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 7, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-154) are a solid play as a moderate favorite, as they look to salvage the series finale from the Rockies (+130).

Birdsong makes his 1st career appearance at Coors Field, but he should be able to fare pretty well. While he has allowed 3 HR in 19 1/3 IP, the right-hander has managed to limit the damage.

The Rox have been hot out of the break, winning the 1st 2 games of the series, but it’s difficult to trust Gomber.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous, GIANTS -1.5 (+104) at plus-money is worth a play. San Francisco has won just 8 games in the past 17 outings, but it has won 6 of those contests by 2 or more runs.

The Rockies +1.5 (-125) haven’t recorded a series sweep since taking all 3 from the San Diego Padres May 13-15.

Over/Under

OVER 10.5 (-112) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under has cashed in the 1st 2 games of this series, but the total has gone high in 6 of the past 8 outings for the Rockies.

While the Under has hit in the past 2 outings, the total has split 5-5 in the past 10 contests for the Giants.

Minnesota Twins at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Minnesota Twins (54-41) and San Francisco Giants (46-50) close out a 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Oracle Park is at 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Twins vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

After losing the Friday opener 7-1, the Twins bounced back with a 4-2 win Saturday, getting 4 2/3 innings of scoreless relief from the bullpen. They have won 13 of their last 19 games and 6 consecutive series.

The Giants have dropped 5 of their last 7 games and hope to avoid their 3rd consecutive series loss.

Twins at Giants projected starters

RHP Chris Paddack vs. LHP Blake Snell

Paddack (5-3, 5.18 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.40 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 in 83 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 8-6 road win over Chicago White Sox Monday
  • Career vs. Giants: 1-1, 3.82 ERA (30 2/3 IP, 13 ER), 1.17 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 in 7 starts — hasn’t faced San Francisco since 2021

Snell (0-3, 7.85 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.74 WHIP, 5.3 BB/9 and 10.7 K/9 in 28 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 4-3 home win over Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday
  • Making just 2nd start since June 3 due to left groin strain
  • Career vs. Twins: 2-2, 5.97 ERA (28 2/3 IP, 19 ER), 1.50 WHIP, 10.4 K/9 in 6 starts — last outing in 2022

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Twins at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 6, Giants 3

Moneyline

The TWINS (+120) have won 6 consecutive series and are 8-1 in their last 9 series finales.

The key for them is 3 runs allowed. They are 11-2 in their last 13 games allowing 3 or fewer runs.

The Giants are 9-1 in their last 10 games when allowing 3 or fewer runs. Heading into Snell’s last start — a 4-3 win vs. Toronto Tuesday — San Francisco had allowed 4 or more runs in all of the 2-time Cy Young Award winner’s outings this season.

BET TWINS (+120).

Run line/Against the spread

The Twins are 26-24 ATS on the road and 12-10 ATS as road underdogs.

The Giants are 21-28 ATS at home and 13-20 ATS as home favorites.

But -175 odds are not good enough to bet the Twins to cover, especially when you can get plus odds on the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

Six of Snell’s 7 starts this season have had more than 7 total runs.

Six of Paddack’s last 7 outings have had 8 or more total runs.

Ten of the Giants’ last 12 losses have had at least 8 total runs.

BET OVER 7.5 (-115).

Twins at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 5, Giants 3

Moneyline

Three has been the key number of runs for both teams lately. The Giants are 9-1 in the last 10 games when they allow 3 or fewer runs, and the TWINS (-105) are 10-2 in their last 12 when they do the same.

The Giants are 21-27 ATS at home. Minnesota is 25-24 ATS on the road.

The Minnesota Twins (53-40) and San Francisco Giants (45-49) open a 3-game set at Oracle Park Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 10:15 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Twins vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Giants won 2-1 last season

The Twins took 2 of 3 games at the Chicago White Sox Monday through Wednesday. They won 3-2 as -197 favorites in the series finale as the Under (8.5) hit. Twins 3B Brooks Lee and SS Carlos Correa hit back-to-back homers in the 6th inning, and C Ryan Jeffers singled in the go-ahead run in the 7th.

The Giants dropped 2 of 3 at home against the Toronto Blue Jays, wrapping up the series with a 5-3 loss as -123 favorites Thursday with the Over (7.5) cashing. San Francisco is just 1-4 in its last 5 games.

Twins at Giants projected starters

RHP Joe Ryan vs. LHP Kyle Harrison

Ryan (6-5, 3.29 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 0.97 WHIP, 1.3 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 in 109 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 9-3 home victory vs. Houston Astros Saturday
  • 2024 road stats: 2-2, 2.78 ERA (55 IP, 17 ER), 1.00 WHIP, 9.8 K/9 in 9 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Twins at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 6, Giants 3

Moneyline

The Twins (-150) have won 12 of their last 17 games overall and are 8-3 in their last 11 on the road. However, their run line should also hit and is being offered at plus odds.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Ten of Minnesota’s last 12 wins have been by 2 or more runs. Ryan’s last 2 starts were multi-run wins for Minnesota, and he has owned the Giants in his career, allowing a total of just 1 run in 11 IP across 2 starts.

Harrison has given up 4 or more runs in 4 of his last 5 starts, and the Giants are coming off back-to-back multi-run losses at home to the Blue Jays, the 7th-worst offense in MLB at 4.05 runs per game. The Twins, on the other hand, score 4.94 per game, the 4th-highest average in the majors.

BET TWINS -1.5 (+110).

Over/Under

The Over is 10-5 when San Francisco is a home underdog and 15-12 when the Twins are road favorites. Minnesota is 7-3 to the Over in its last 10 games, while the Giants are 4-1 O/U in their last 5.

Harrison gave up 4 ER in 3 1/3 IP in his last start Saturday against Cleveland, and he should continue to struggle against an even better offense in the Twins.

BET OVER 7.5 (-115).

Toronto Blue Jays at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (45-48) welcome the Toronto Blue Jays (42-50) to Oracle Park Thursday for the finale of their 3-game series. First pitch is set for 3:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Giants lost to the Blue Jays 10-6 Wednesday, but did come out on top 4-3 on Tuesday.

The Giants have closed as a moneyline and run-line favorite in both games. San Francisco is just 1-3 in its last 4, having lost 2 of 3 on the road against the Cleveland Guardians in the series prior. The Giants are 26-20 at home and 45-48 against the spread (ATS).

The Blue Jays, who have won 3 of their last 4 games, have had their offense erupt, scoring 5 or more runs in each win. Toronto won 2 of 3 on the road against the Seattle Mariners in the series prior. It is just 3-4 over its last 7 though. The Blue Jays are 21-26 on the road and 44-48 ATS.

Blue Jays at Giants projected starters

RHP Kevin Gausman vs. RHP Jordan Hicks

Gausman (6-8, 4.64 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.34 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 9.4 K/9 in 97 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 2 ER (2 R), 6 H, 2 BB, 10 K in 2-1 road loss to the Seattle Mariners Friday
  • 2024 away splits: 5-3, 2.31 ERA (50 2/3 IP, 13 ER), 1.01 WHIP, 5 HR, 9.6 K/9 in 9 starts
  • Career vs. Giants: 0-2, 3.38 ERA (16 IP, 6 ER), 9 H, 0 HR, 9 BB, 27 K in 2 starts

Hicks (6-8, 4.64 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 in 90 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 3 ER (3 R), 8 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 3-1 road loss to the Atlanta Braves on July 3
  • 2024 home splits: 2-2, 3.12 ERA (49 IP, 17 ER), 1.06 WHIP, 6 HR, 6.8 K/9 in 9 starts

  • Moneyline (ML): Blue Jays +102 (bet $100 to win $102) | Giants -120 (bet $120 to win $100)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Blue Jays -1.5 (+172) | Giants +1.5 (-210)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Blue Jays at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Blue Jays 3

Moneyline

BET GIANTS (-120).

The Blue Jays are 1-4 in Gausman’s last 5 starts, and they are just 3-4 over their last 7 games. Toronto hasn’t fared well on the road this season either. The Blue Jays are the 6th-worst team in the MLB following a win at 15-25, which they are here.

The Giants, who are 6-3 over their last 9 at home, have a solid starting option and have scored at least 4 runs in 6 straight games. Their offense has been consistent as well. At these odds, take GIANTS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Giants, as a run-line underdog, are far, far too expensive (-210) to take here, especially given how well Gausman has pitched on the road. However, the Blue Jays are too risky as a run-line favorite as well.

Ultimately, avoid a run line play.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-102).

The Giants have gone Under in 4 of their last 7 games. Even in 2 of those 3 in which the Over did hit, it only exceeded the projected total by 0.5 runs.

The Blue Jays, who are 44-46-2 O/U on the season, have gone Under in 3 of their last 6. They have struggled offensively, scoring 3 runs or fewer in 4 of their last 7 games and 5 runs or fewer in 6 of those 7. Gausman has 9 road starts and only 2 in which the Blue Jays have allowed more than 3.

While the Giants on the moneyline is the best play, also take UNDER 7.5 (-102) given the quality of pitchers taking the mound.
