Yankees at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 5, Yankees 3
Moneyline
BET GIANTS (-118).
Throughout his career, Poteet is 7-13 when making an appearance, and in his 2nd start of the season against a solid Giants offense that sits 10th in batting average. He’ll have a tough task. They have scored at least 6 runs in 6 of their last 10 games.
While the Yankees have won consistently as of late, they have scored 3 or fewer in 3 of their last 5 and will have a significant pitching disadvantage with Webb having started the season strong.
Expect San Fran to use that advantage to come out on top and back GIANTS (-118).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
The Giants are far too expensive as a run-line underdog here and aren’t worth any play at -210. Similarly, the Yankees, with an inexperienced and potentially risky Poteet, aren’t worth a play as a run-line favorite.
Over/Under
BET OVER 7.5 (-112).
The Yankees offense is starting to click, having scored at least 6 runs in 2 of their last 3 Games. They have gone Over in 7 of their last 12 as well.
The Giants, who are 30-26-2 O/U on the season, have topped the total in 7 of their last 10 games and have allowed at least 5 runs in 6 of those while scoring at least 6 runs in 6 of them.
Considering those trends from both sides, back OVER 7.5 (-112).
