San Francisco Giants vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Spread, Line, Odds, Predictions, Picks and Betting Preview

Sportsgrid-Staff

Giants @ Diamondbacks – First Pitch: 9:40 p.m.

Expected Forecast: Clear Sky, 83°
 

San Francisco Giants’ Favorable Odds

Our focus shifts to the upcoming matchup between the San Francisco Giants and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Current betting trends favor the Giants, who hold an impressive moneyline price of -144 on the FanDuel Sportsbook. This edge is primarily due to their stellar performance on the road.

Total Run Anticipation: A High-Scoring Affair?

For those interested in over/under wagers, the game’s total currently stands at a promising 9.5. This tally suggests an expectation of a high-scoring late-night encounter.

Giants’ Ace: Cobb’s Outstanding Performance

The key player to watch from the Giants’ side is their pitcher, Alex Cobb, who’s been impressive this season. His excellent season is reflected in his 2.98 xFIP. Analyzing Cobb’s performance further, we notice his ISO (Isolated Power) numbers against both left-handed and right-handed batters are very good. His stellar record makes him a strong factor in favor of the Giants.

Diamondbacks’ Starter: Henry’s Struggles

On the other hand, the Diamondbacks’ starter, Tommy Henry, presents a different picture. His season statistics show a concerning xFIP of 6.49 against approximately 70 batters. While his strikeout rate isn’t particularly impressive, he has demonstrated decent performance against right-handed batters. However, his performance against left-handed hitters has been less than stellar.

Giants’ Lineup: A Challenge Against Left-Handed Pitching

San Fran’s lineup, despite the favorable odds, has had its struggles against left-handed pitching this season. Players like Wilmer Flores and Mitch Haniger have been exceptions, with on-base averages of .411 and .372, respectively. Yet, the rest of the lineup has been largely below average. Despite Henry’s less-than-impressive statistics, this could potentially prevent the Giants from capitalizing fully on their advantageous betting line.
