Giants at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Tigers 3

Moneyline

Wentz’s early-season struggles appear to be a continuation of a rough spring training (7.98 ERA). With the better offense and a reset bullpen after an off day, the visiting Giants are a lean. Don’t go past -135, though. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

AVOID trying to get the Giants by with a multi-run margin in a game with a favorable Under.

Over/Under

The Under is 7-0-1 in the last 8 series meetings.

With an inward wind and the shaky Detroit offense, the UNDER 8.5 (-105) is a value play. Both bullpens have been hurt by hard contact and unfairly so, going by percentage of fly balls leaving yards as home runs (Giants 20.5%, Tigers 21.4%). The starters have warts, but Manea’s past and Wentz’s talents indicate better days ahead.

The lefty-lefty match-up is s slight draw on the better of these 2 offenses, that of San Francisco.
