The San Francisco Giants (64-59) close out a 3-game series against the Atlanta Braves (80-42) on Sunday at Truist Park. First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Braves lead 2-0

The Giants lost 6-5 to the Braves on Saturday despite multi-hit performances from 1B Lamonte Wade Jr., OF Michael Conforto, 3B J.D. Davis, and C Blake Sabol. San Francisco has lost 8 of its last 10 games and is now 12 games behind the 1st-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.

In Saturday’s 1-run victory, the Braves got HRs from OF Ronald Acuna and OF Eddie Rosario. Atlanta is on a 5-game winning streak and has extended its lead in the NL East to 13 1/2 games.

  • Last start: No decision, 4 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 7 K in a 7-0 home win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday
  • Road stats: 3-2, 3.93 ERA (34 1/3 IP, 15 ER) in 15 relief appearances

Giants at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 5, Giants 3

Moneyline

The Braves should extend their winning streak to 6 games on Sunday, but taking their moneyline at the current odds (-250) isn’t advised. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Giants were the lean when the line was +2.5 (-130), but the Braves -1.5 (-135) doesn’t seem worth it, although Atlanta is fully capable of winning by multiple runs. Junis is only making his 3rd start this season, but the bullpen of the Giants is tied for the 5th-lowest wOBA (.296) allowed.

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-110) is the play as Fried should have success against a Giants team that leans on plenty of lefties in their lineup. Meanwhile, it’s always risky betting an Under when the Braves are involved.

The Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.

Boston Red Sox at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

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

The Boston Red Sox (56-47) will play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the San Francisco Giants (56-48) Saturday at Oracle Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Red Sox lead 1-0

In Friday’s 3-2 victory over the Giants, 1B Triston Casas hit his 16th home run (4th in the last 5 games) of the season, and he had his 5th multi-hit performance in the last 6 games. Boston has won 5 straight games and is 7 games back of the Baltimore Orioles atop the AL East.

It was DH Joc Pederson and OF Michael Conforto, who supplied the 2 runs for the Giants Friday as Pederson hit his 11th homer of the season. Despite losing Friday, San Francisco remains 3 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West race.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

With how Boston has performed recently, I’ll side with the RED SOX (-115) on the road in Saturday’s contest. Paxton should have success against a Giants lineup that features a few lefties.

Run line/Against the spread

Even though the Giants should keep this game close at home, I’ll PASS on betting on the run line in this matchup.

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

Over/Under

UNDER 8 (+100) is how I’d wager on the run total with Paxton on the mound for the Red Sox. Since the start of June, the Giants have the 4th-lowest ISO (.117), wOBA (.283) and wRC+ (77) against left-handed pitching.

San Francisco Giants at Pittsburgh Pirates odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Francisco Giants (49-41) open a 3-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates (41-49) on Friday at PNC Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET (Apple TV+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Pirates odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Pirates lead 2-1

The Giants defeated the Colorado Rockies 1-0 Sunday before the All-Star break. San Francisco has won its last 2 games and is only 2 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks for the lead in the NL West.

The Pirates snapped a 4-game losing skid in their last game before the break with a 4-2 road win over the Diamondbacks Sunday. After a strong start to the season, Pittsburgh is now 8 1/2 games back of the Cincinnati Reds in the NL Central race.

Giants at Pirates picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Pirates 4

Moneyline

I’ll take the GIANTS (-130) on the road as they hope to kick off the 2nd half of the season with a win and start an improbable run to win the NL West. San Francisco is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings with Pittsburgh and is 16-7 in its last 23 road games overall.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS -1.5 (+125).

San Francisco to win by multiple runs presents solid value with Hill on the mound for the Pirates. In 6 of their last 7 wins against the Pirates, the Giants have won by at least 2 runs.

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

Over/Under

OVER 9 (-115) is how I’d play the run total with Stripling and Hill toeing the rubber. The Pirates have hit the Over in 6 of their last 7 home games and both of these pitchers have struggled to prevent runs in recent starts.

The San Francisco Giants (45-35) conclude a 3-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays (44-37) on Thursday at Rogers Centre. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Blue Jays odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: tied 1-1

The Giants lost 6-1 Wednesday despite 1B Lamonte Wade Jr. recording 3 hits in the leadoff spot. San Francisco is 7-3 in its last 10 games and is expected to start RHP Keaton Winn for a bullpen game on Thursday.

RHP Keaton Winn vs. RHP Chris Bassitt

Winn (0-0, 3.75 ERA) makes his 1st start and 4th appearance. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 through 12 IP.

  • Has worked as a bulk reliever, pitching 3 or more innings in each of his 3 career appearances

Giants at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

It’s hard to bet against a pitcher with the last name Winn, but he’s making his first start in the majors. Considering that, I’ll take the BLUE JAYS (-150) at home to close out the series.

Run line/Against the spread

GIANTS +1.5 (-160) is how I’d bet on the run line despite Winn making his first career start. San Francisco has quietly been one of the better teams recently and Bassitt has struggled in recent starts, so the Giants should be able to keep this one close.

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

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-105) is the lean in this game despite the pitchers that are getting the nod on Thursday. The Giants have gone Under in 3 straight contests and the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between these clubs.

San Francisco Giants at Minnesota Twins odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Francisco Giants (24-24) conclude a 3-game series against the Minnesota Twins (25-24) on Wednesday at Target Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Twins odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 2-0

The Giants defeated the Twins 4-3 on Tuesday to extend their win streak to 3 games. San Francisco is 7-3 in its last 10 games and is 6 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for 1st place in the NL West.

OF Byron Buxton hit his 10th home run of the season in the bottom of the 1st inning to grab an early lead in Tuesday’s loss. Minnesota is still 1st place in the AL Central despite going 4-6 in its last 10 games.

DeSclafani (3-3, 3.09 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 0.99 WHIP, 1.1 BB/9 and 6.7 K/9 through 55 1/3 IP.

  • After allowing a combined 9 ER in his first 6 starts, he’s allowed a combined 10 ER in his last 3 outings

Giants at Twins picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 4, Giants 2

Moneyline

Even with the Giants winning the first 2 games of the series, I’ll take the TWINS (-160) at home with Ryan on the mound. I wouldn’t wager on Minnesota’s moneyline at anything worse than -160 odds.

Run line/Against the spread

TWINS -1.5 (+135) has solid value with Ryan being one of the league’s top starting pitchers to begin the season. Minnesota has won by 3 or more runs in each of the 6 wins that Ryan has been credited with.

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

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-120) is how I’d bet on the run total with DeSclafani and Ryan taking the bump on Wednesday. There have been 5 or fewer runs scored in the first 2 games of the series.

The Giants are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 interleague games and the Twins are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games overall.

Nationals at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Nationals 2

Moneyline

AVOID.

Even though I believe the Giants will win on Monday night, taking them straight up at over -200 odds isn’t worth the risk.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS -1.5 (-110).

Instead of taking the moneyline, you can get solid value on the Giants winning by multiple runs in this matchup. DeSclafani has been fantastic for San Francisco and I’ll trust him over Irvin, who is making just his 2nd career start in the majors.

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

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-110) is how I’d bet on the run total with how DeSclafani is pitching and Oracle Park is a pitcher-friendly venue. The Nationals are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games following a win and the Under is 33-16-2 in the last 51 meetings.

Giants at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Astros 5, Giants 2

Moneyline

PASS.

While the Astros are favored to secure the win at home, taking them straight up at nearly -200 odds isn’t worth the risk. That being said, you can pair Garcia’s strikeouts and Houston’s moneyline for decent odds in this contest.

Run line/Against the spread

ASTROS -1.5 (+105) is the pick in this contest after the Giants travel to Houston after playing in high-altitude Mexico City the previous 2 days. On top of that, Stripling has struggled with a whopping 15.4% barrel percentage and a 117.8 mph max EV (exit velocity).

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

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-110) is the ideal bet with Garcia taking the mound for the Astros. Garcia has shut out the Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays in his last 2 starts.

The Astros are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 interleague games and 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.

Giants vs. Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 7, Giants 5

Moneyline

PASS.

Even with the Padres (-185) expected to secure the win on Saturday, taking them straight up isn’t advised at the current odds.

Run line/Against the spread

PADRES -1.5 (-110) is the pick in this NL West matchup in Mexico City. The Padres have the pitching advantage with Musgrove on the mound and Manaea on a short leash from the Giants to begin the season.

Over/Under

UNDER 15.5 (-110) is how I’d wager on the total with it being such a high number. The elevation in Mexico City could lead to more runs in this showdown, but neither team has been hitting well enough to feel confident in 16-plus runs being scored.

Phillies at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 4, Giants 2

Money line

The PHILLIES (+102) have had a disappointing road trip, but getting swept is not something they’ve done since July 24 against the Chicago Cubs. Despite looking impressive the last 2 games, the Giants being favored to sweep a team with the potential firepower of Philadelphia is a steep price. The value is on the Phillies as an underdog to not get swept.

Run line/Against the spread

The PHILLIES +1.5 (-210) might look pricey, but still has value considering the Giants have only won by 2 or more runs in 2 of their last 10 games. Philadelphia has also proven lately that it is a hard team to sweep. In Philadelphia’s last series, it was blown out twice by Arizona before ending the 3-game set with an 18-2 win Wednesday.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-115) is worth a bet, especially for those who are uncomfortable betting on a Philadelphia team that hasn’t looked great on this road trip. Suarez’s numbers on the road are very similar to Rodon’s numbers at home. Both starting pitchers should help keep this game under the total.

Cubs at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Cubs 4

Money line

The GIANTS -1.5 (+140) are a bit of a risky play based on the fact they’re on a major losing skid while the Cubs have been hot. However, San Francisco is not only 5-1 across its last 6 home games, but it outscored the opposition 38-17 during that span.

Run line/Against the spread

The GIANTS -1.5 (+140) are the lean here given the juicy payout. There is definitely some risk considering the opposing streaks these two teams have been on of late, but San Francisco should get to Steele on the road in its return home from a road trip.

Over/Under

The OVER 7.5 (-125) is the lean, as the wind will be blowing out to the left-center field power alley. With a pair of left-handed hurlers on the bump, right-handed hitters have to be licking their collective chops.
