Analyzing Tuesday’s San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (78-79) take on the Arizona Diamondbacks (87-70) Tuesday in the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Chase Field at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Giants vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: D-backs lead 6-5

The Giants have been eliminated from postseason contention, but they must have missed the memo. They’ve won 4 in a row, sweeping a 3-game series at the Kansas City Royals and taking Tuesday’s opener from the Diamondbacks 6-3. 3B Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 with a triple, his 27th homer and 3 RBIs, while LF Michael Conforto finished 2-for-5 with a double, his 19th HR and 1 RBI.

The D-backs are 1½ games up on the Atlanta Braves for the final Wild Card spot. They have dropped 2 in a row after winning 4 straight. Over his last 27 games, OF Corbin Carroll is hitting .262 with 7 homers and 20 RBIs while stealing 11 bags.

Giants at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. RHP Brandon Pfaadt

Webb (12-10, 3.58 ERA) makes his 33rd start. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through an NL-best 198 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 5-3 loss at Baltimore Orioles Thursday
  • Career vs. D-backs: 6-3, 2.51 ERA (68 IP, 19 ER), 1.19 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 in 11 starts
  • 2024 vs. D-backs: 1 home start, win, 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 5-0 shutout April 18
  • Last 5 starts vs. D-Backs: 3-1, 2.38 ERA (34 IP, 9 ER), 0.94 WHIP

Pfaadt (10-9, 4.66 ERA) makes his 31st start. He has a 1.23 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 through 173 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 0 BB, 12 K in 5-1 victory at Milwaukee Brewers Thursday
  • Career Giants: 0-1, 1.50 ERA (12 IP, 2 ER), 0.58 WHIP, 12 K in 2 starts — both last season

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

Wait, did you see that last start line from Pfaadt? Outside of having the most fun last name in baseball, that was quite impressive: 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 0 BB and 12 K against the NL Central-champion Brewers. Before that, however, he gave up 29 earned runs in 29 innings across his last 6 starts.

While I like the D-backs here, I don’t trust them enough to risk -150 on them.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Of the D-backs’ 6 wins against the Giants this season, 5 were by multiple runs. Webb has had some issues on the bump lately as well, allowing 3+ ER in 5 straight starts.

TAKE DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+145).

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 101 degrees at first pitch with a light, 2-mph breeze coming in from left-center. The Over is 6-2-2 in the last 10 meetings. Each team is 5-4-1 O/U in their last 10.

I like OVER 8 (-115).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Arizona Diamondbacks (87-69) welcome the San Francisco Giants (77-79) to Chase Field Monday for the 1st game of a 3-game series. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Giants at Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 6-4

The Giants beat the Kansas City Royals 2-0 Sunday to complete the 3-game sweep, outscoring the Royals 13-1. The Giants have won 5 of their last 6 games, all on the road. They are 36-42 in away games this season and 76-80 against the spread (ATS).

The Diamondbacks lost 10-9 to the Milwaukee Brewers in a shootout Sunday. Arizona has scored at least 5 runs in 5 straight games and has won 4 of those. It is 43-33 at home, yet is just 5-7 over its last 12 games at home. The Diamondbacks are 81-74 ATS.

Giants at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez

Birdsong (4-5, 4.74 ERA) makes his 15th career start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 5.5 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 in 62 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 5-3 road win over the Baltimore Orioles Wednesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Giants 5

Moneyline

PASS.

The Diamondbacks are far too expensive of a favorite to play at home, especially considering how well the Giants have played as of late. Similarly, the Giants aren’t worth a play on the moneyline and have more attractive odds on the spread.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS +1.5 (-145).

The Giants have been playing extremely well on the road and against competent opponents. Both the Royals and Orioles have winning  records and the Giants won 5 of 6 against those teams in their last 2 road series. San Francisco has allowed just 9 total runs in those 6 games and has allowed just 6 total runs in Birdsong’s last 2 starts.

Also, 2 of the last 3 games between these teams have ended within 1 run. The Diamondbacks have allowed 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 8 games and have outright lost in 3 of Rodriguez’s last 4 starts. Put it all together and back GIANTS +1.5 (-145).

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (-110).

In the 10 games between these 2 teams this season, 6 of them would’ve gone Over this total. One team has scored at least 6 runs in 4 of the last 5 games and 1 team has scored at least 8 runs in 3 of those 5 games.

Neither starting pitcher has been consistently efficient this season. The Diamondbacks are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games and 88-61-6 O/U on the season. The Giants have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 and are 79-71-6 O/U.

Back OVER 9 (-110).

Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 4-2

San Francisco has dropped the 1st 2 games of this series and has lost 6 straight overall. Giants pitching owns a 6.02 ERA (52 1/3 IP, 35 ER), 1.49 WHIP over that stretch.

The Diamondbacks lost 5 straight games from May 26-31, but they have rallied to win 4 in a row since. Arizona won Tuesday 8-5 as a -113 favorite with the Over (9) cashing, a night after taking the series opener 4-2 as a -112 favorite and the Under (9) hitting. SS Kevin Newman, C Gabriel Moreno and LF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. each had 2 RBIs in Tuesday’s victory, while 2B Ketel Marte and DH Blaze Alexander each went 3 for 4.

Giants at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Jordan Hicks vs. LHP Jordan Montgomery

Hicks (4-2, 2.70 ERA) is making his 13th start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 through 63 1/3 innings.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER (5 R), 7 H, 0 BB, 4 K in 6-2 home setback vs. New York Yankees Friday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

San Francisco has lost 7 straight games in Phoenix, dating back to last season. The Giants are 2-4 across their last 6 get-away games.

Hicks has seen his surface numbers smoothed over by a .254 batting average on balls in play (BABIP), and he makes this start after tossing a season-high 101 pitches in his last start.

Montgomery has filed a .340 BABIP, which has somewhat unfairly seen his numbers tumble the other way.

Arizona’s underlying scoring and run-prevention indicators line up better with its record.

BACK ARIZONA (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

Arizona (-1.5, +155) is the lean side, but the return here cannot match the relative value of the ML, and there’s no need to worry about having to win by at least 2 runs.

PASS.

Over/Under

Mixed signals here. Peg the smallest of discernable leans on the UNDER 8.5 (-115), and consider wagering a partial unit.

Giants at Diamondbacks projected starters

LHP Kyle Harrison vs. LHP Blake Walston

Harrison (4-2, 4.15 ERA) is making his 13th start. He has a 1.4 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 65 IP.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5 IP, 4 ER, 12 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 6-1 loss vs. Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

San Francisco has lost 6 straight road games to Arizona.

The lefty-lefty mound matchup swings the home 9 into its best platoon splits. The Snakes own MLB’s 3rd-best OPS vs. port-siders (.775). Despite its recent 5-game slide, Arizona is still 14-12 over its last 26 games.

The confidence level in Walston is not high, however. Consider a partial-unit play — FanDuel Sportsbook has the best available price — on ARIZONA (-112).

Run line/Against the spread

Not enough return coming back here. PASS.

Over/Under

The Under cashed Monday and is 5-2-2 in this series since Aug. 1.

There is just a barely-perceptible lean on FanDuel’s UNDER 9 (-112) for Tuesday’s game. Consider going in with less than a full unit.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (29-31) and Arizona Diamondbacks (27-32) meet Monday as they swing into a 3-game NL West series in Phoenix. First pitch is at 9:40 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 2-2

San Francisco coughed up a late 5-3 lead in losing to the New York Yankees 7-5 Sunday. The Giants were swept in their home series against New York and have lost 4 consecutive games.

The Diamondbacks are back at home after a 2-4 road trip. The 2 wins came Saturday and Sunday against the New York Mets. After a May 24-30 scoring slump that saw the ballclub score 9 runs in a 6-game stretch, Arizona has tallied 24 runs over its last 3 games.

Giants at Diamondbacks projected starters

TBD vs. RHP Ryne Nelson

Rookie RHP Spencer Howard is a possibility to either start for San Francisco or log bulk innings as a reliever.

Nelson (3-4, 6.02 ERA) is making his 9th start. He has a 1.76 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 6.9 K/9 in 40 1/3 IP.

  • Last outing: Loss, 6 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 6-1 loss at Texas Rangers Wednesday
  • Career vs. Giants: 1-0, 3.10 ERA (20 1/3 IP, 7 ER), 17 H, 6 BB, 11 K in 4 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

The Giants are 2-4 over their last 6 games against Arizona and have lost 5 in a row in Phoenix. San Francisco has gone on 4 road trips this season; it is 0-4 over the 1st games of those trips.

The NL West foes have split their 1st 4 meetings down the middle, but the Snakes have outscored the Giants 25-16.

Looking at the won-loss records and run-scoring (SF 4.28 runs per game, 4.77 RPG allowed; Arizona 4.64, 4.64) for both sides, a compelling case can be made that the Giants are a couple of games heavy in the win column while the Diamondbacks are a couple or 3 games light.

Nelson has allowed too much loud contact, but he has also been perhaps a bit unduly knocked around by a .384 batting average on balls in play.

The San Francisco bullpen figures to potentially be heavily involved in this one. And would normally be a value plus, because that pen figures as being better than its surface numbers would indicate. But after the weekend and with no off-day buffer, the back end of the San Francisco bullpen is likely operating at about 50% availability.

BET ARIZONA (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

Look to the Moneyline for better relative value. AVOID.

Over/Under

The analysis here criss-crosses back and forth over a 9-run threshold. But with the Nelson angle and the 2-sided travel, peg the UNDER 9 (-115) with just a sliver of a lean.

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, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (76-74) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (79-72) open a key 2-game series at Chase Field Tuesday in Phoenix. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants at Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 6-5

The Giants enter play 2 games back for a Wild Card spot in the jumbled National League standings. There are 5 teams basically vying for 2 Wild Card spots with the Philadelphia Phillies 3 1/2 games clear of the rest of the pack for one of the other card spots.

San Francisco made things hard on itself by dropping 3 of 4 games against lowly Colorado on the road over the weekend, and it is just 6-10 in the past 16 games overall. The Over and Under has alternated in the past 7 games.

The Giants optioned prospect Kyle Harrison to Triple-A over the weekend. Tuesday was to be his turn in the rotation. Veteran RHP Alex Cobb will get the nod in his stead.

Arizona is one of those teams vying for a postseason spot, entering play a half-game clear of the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds, and a full game up on the Miami Marlins, while sitting 2 1/2 games ahead of the Giants. So, this is an ultra-important game.

The Diamondbacks picked up a key 3-game sweep of the Cubs over the weekend, scoring at least 6 runs in each of the victories. The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games overall.

Giants at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Alex Cobb vs. RHP Zac Gallen

Cobb (7-6, 3.62 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 in 149 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 3 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 9-2 road win vs. the Toronto Blue Jays Thursday
  • 2023 road splits: 2-4, 5.26 ERA (75 1/3 IP, 44 ER), 13 HR, .307 OBA in 15 starts

Gallen (15-8, 3.50 ERA) makes his 32nd start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 9.3 K/9 in 192 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 2 R (0 ER), 3 H, 1 BB, 2 K in 5-4 home win in 10 innings vs. the Cleveland Guardians Sept. 11
  • 2023 home splits: 11-2, 2.18 ERA (90 2/3 IP, 22 ER), 6 HR, .220 OBA in 14 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Giants 2

Moneyline

The DIAMONDBACKS (-155) are worth playing in the home opener, as Gallen has been tremendous at Chase Field. His home splits are amazing, and he has been victorious in 11 of his 14 starts in Phoenix.

On the flip side, Cobb has been brutal on the road for the Giants (+125), posting a 5.26 ERA while serving up 13 homers. Teams are hitting north of .300 against him in those assignments, too.

Run line/Against the spread

The DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+135) are a good bet on the run line, especially behind Gallen. In the team’s 3-game sweep of the Cubs over the weekend, Arizona won 2 of the 3 games by at least a pair of runs, and it is a respectable 7-5 on the road line in the past 12 games when favored.

Over/Under

The UNDER 8.5 (-115) is the lean, mainly because of the presence of Gallen. He hasn’t allowed much in his home dates. The worry is Cobb, as the Snakes could get homer-happy against him under the roof. Still, Gallen should post plenty of donuts to keep this total from inching Over.

The San Francisco Giants (16-20) kick off a 4-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks (20-17) Thursday at Chase Field. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; D-backs won 2022 series 10-9

The Giants are slumping, losing 3 of the final 4 games on their 6-game homestand. San Francisco’s offense is averaging just 3.7 runs per game across the last 10 outings.

The Diamondbacks are also skidding lately, dropping 3 of the last 4 games at home. However, Arizona’s offense has been fine, posting 70 runs across the last 11 outings (6.4 runs per outing). It’s the pitching which has let them down, as the Snakes have coughed up 5.9 runs per game in the last 10 contests.

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-140) are a solid play on the road, as Cobb has been much more consistent on the bump this season than his counterpart Henry.

San Francisco is also 5-0 in the last 5 tries against a left-handed starting pitcher, while going 4-1 in the last 5 against teams with a winning overall record.

On the flip side, the Diamondbacks are 2-5 in the last 7 at home against a right-handed starting pitcher, and just 17-38 in the last 55 meetings overall.

Run line/Against the spread

The GIANTS -1.5 (+110) are worth a roll of the dice on the run line.

In San Francisco’s last 6 victories since April 26, it has won by 2 or more runs. So if you like the Giants to win, you should like them to cover the run line as well.

Over/Under

The UNDER 9 (+100) is worth a look at even money.

The Under is 6-2 in the last 8 road games for San Francisco, while going 6-2 in the last 8 against a left-handed starting pitcher, too.

For Arizona, the Under has cashed in 6 of the last 8 home games, while going 4-1 in the previous 5 series openers, too.

In addition, the Under has cashed in 7 of the last 10 meetings in this series.

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.

LHP Carlos Rodon vs. LHP Tyler Gilbert

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.

  • Has 4-4 record with a 3.55 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 10.2 K/9 on road vs. 4-1, 2.05 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 12.9 K/9 at home

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 Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 4

Money line

The Giants have lost 4 straight games but all were to the red-hot Dodgers. They are 25-19 against teams that are .500 or below.

Junis has also pitched very well in a starting role this season, having allowed 2 or fewer runs in all but 1 of his starts.

The Diamondbacks really struggle against winning teams. They are 18-32 against teams above .500. Only 3 teams have fewer wins against winning teams.

Take the GIANTS (-130).

Six of Arizona’s last 8 losses have been by 1 run.

Take the DIAMONBACKS +1.5 (-155).

Three of the 6 games between these teams this season have had 10 or more total runs.

All 3 of Gilbert’s starts since being recalled have had 9 or fewer total runs.

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 (40-38) and Arizona Diamondbacks (36-44) meet at 9:40 p.m. ET Tuesday for the 2nd of a 3-game series at Chase Field in Phoenix. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Arizona leads 1-0 after an 8-3 triumph in the Fourth of July series opener.

The Giants have lost 5 straight games, scoring just 12 runs along the way. San Francisco will look to snap that streak against a club it dominated a year ago. S.F. topped Arizona 17 times in 19 games in 2021.

The Diamondbacks — a team averaging a below-average 4.21 runs per game — have found some offense of late. Arizona has scored 29 runs in their last 4 games, going 2-2.

  • Has coughed up 15 R in his last 17 1/3 IP on the road.
  • Does well to limit hard contact, but has been beaten up by a .340 batting average on balls in play.

Gilbert (0-3, 7.88 ERA) has appeared in 4 games this season (3 starts) in his 2nd MLB season. He has a 1.44 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 through 16 IP.

Giants at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Diamondbacks 3

Money line

Arizona’s recent offense has been buoyed by the club going 12-of-32 (.375) with runners in scoring position in its last 4 games.

Wood is likely undervalued a bit. He’s a ground-ball pitcher, and the D-backs have faltered against such. The Giants have the better bullpen, and it’s 1 that is better rested in key slots.

San Francisco is the lean … up to -165. PASS otherwise.

Run line/Against the spread

GIANTS -1.5 (-108) is the best play as currently listed. It wasn’t that long ago when the Giants were playing at a .600-to-.650 clip for multi-week stretches.

Over/Under

The Under 9.5 … at -115 … makes sense. PASS otherwise.

Both clubs have some underlying numbers that support better run prevention than what they have posted so far.
