Rangers at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Rangers 4, Giants 2
Moneyline
BET TEXAS (+120).
I love this bet. The Rangers are the hottest team in baseball and you are getting them at plus odds. The fact they are on the road does not matter. These two teams are going in opposite directions right now.
Run line/Against the spread
SKIP.
No need to mess around with the run line in this one. The moneyline is the play.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 8 (-105).
The Rangers pitching staff has a 2.00 ERA over their last 11 games. That’s why they’ve won 10 of those games. The Giants score less than 4 runs per game at home on the season.
Neither starting pitcher in this game has allowed more than 3 ER in any of their last 3 starts.
