Diamondbacks at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 5, Giants 2
Moneyline
Gallen has been great this season. He allowed 3 of his 4 ER on the road this season but has allowed only 1 run in his 3 other starts, and Arizona is 3-1 when he is on the mound.
The Giants lost Harrison's only home start this season, a 5-3 loss to Washington on April 9. He allowed 3 runs in 6 innings.
Betting the Diamondbacks to win isn't a bad bet at -125, but their track record this season with Gallen on the mound makes the run line and the plus-odds there even better.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
The Diamondbacks have scored 5 or more runs in all Gallen's starts. All 3 wins when he started were by multiple runs.
Six of the Giants' last 7 losses were by more than 1 run.

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+140).

Seven of the last 9 meetings between the 2 teams have had 8 it fewer runs.
