Diamondbacks vs. Giants Pick

Moneyline Pick for Diamondbacks vs. Giants

  • Giants (4 units)

Both teams entered Monday’s opener with losses on the ledger as the Diamondbacks fell to Boston while the Giants dropped back-to-back tilts to the Cardinals. While San Francisco entered Monday a pedestrian 35-34 at Oracle Park on the year, that is better than Arizona’s 34-38 road mark on the season. Ray is 4-3 with a 3.33 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, 31 walks and 82 strikeouts over 83.2 innings of work at home on the year. The Diamondbacks’ relief corps has been weakened by injuries and we saw it burn them in Sunday’s game. Take San Francisco at home in this contest as Ray beats one of his former squads.

Over/Under Pick for Diamondbacks vs. Giants

  • Over (4 units)

Arizona entered Monday having seen the over go 68-67-9 in their opening 144 games of the season. The Diamondbacks are fifth in the league in runs per game with 4.94, a number that slides down slightly to 4.71 runs per game on the road on the year. Arizona has an average total of 9.70 runs per game and that number slides down to 9.52 runs per game away from Chase Field. San Francisco entered Monday having stayed under the total in 70 of their 143 games, with six pushes, on the season. The Giants are 17th in the majors with 4.32 runs per game, a number that falls to 3.97 runs per game at home. San Francisco has an average total of 8.46 runs per game and that number tumbles to 8.10 runs per game at home this season. With Gallen a middle-of-the-road arm on the road and Ray struggling of late, this game goes over the total.
