Money line (ML)
The Giants (-165) are just a little more expensive than I care to pay on a money line - especially with an unproven pitcher on the bump.
AVOID, and look to the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The GIANTS -1.5 (-105) are a better value on the run line in this road outing. San Francisco decked Arizona 11-4 in Friday's game bouncing back from a loss in the series opener. Eight of the past nine wins for San Francisco have been by two or more runs including their past three victories against Arizona since June 16.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 10 (-105) is a solid bet with two unproven hurlers on the bump. The offense should be plentiful in the desert. The Over is an impressive 20-8-1 in the past 29 inside the division for the Giants and 4-1 in the past five meetings with the Diamondbacks.
