The sharps are betting the over in this game but that’s not the way I am going to go. However, what I took away from that betting pattern is they must think most of the offensive production is going to come from San Francisco based on this starting pitching matchup. After all, the Giants Logan Webb has gone a perfect 9-0 in his home team starts this season with an outstanding 1.69 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Webb has also gone 12-1 in his team starts this year as a money line favorite of -110 or greater and the Giants outscored the opposition by an average of 2.4 runs per game. By the way, speaking of the Giants expected to provide the bulk of scoring in this matchup, they have averaged a robust 7.4 runs scored per game while smacking 15 home runs throughout their previous 7 outings. The Giants bullpen has also performed extremely well during that 7-game span while collecting a staff 2.83 ERA.

The Giants will be facing right-handed starter Ian Anderson tonight. The Giants are a highly profitable 69-33 (.676) against right-handed starting pitchers this season. In further regards to Ian Anderson, he has an uninspiring 5.63 ERA and 2.06 WHIP over his last 4 starts. Quite frankly, Anderson is very fortunate to not have a much higher ERA through that period considering his massive WHIP. Bet on the Giants for a run-line wager.
