Pirates at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 4, Pirates 1
Moneyline
BET GIANTS (-115).
San Francisco has won 6 of its last 10 games overall and is 5-4 in its last 9 home games. The Giants are also 7-3 in their last 10 games against the Pirates. Pittsburgh is only 1-4 in its last 5 games and 3-7 in its last 10 games.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I expect the Giants to cover here as I expect them to also come away with the win, but their odds are simply safer on the moneyline than here as a +1.5 (-200) line is a bit too risky for me to advise betting on. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 7.5 (-115).
The Under has hit in the 1st 2 games of the series and is 3-1 in the last 4 matchups. The Under is 4-1 in San Francisco's last 5 games. The Under is 7-3 in Pittsburgh's last 10 outings.
