San Francisco Giants Betting Preview
The Giants are coming off a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds where they lost two out of the three games. Their recent battle was an 8-6 victory that went extra innings (10th inning). They snapped their two-game losing streak.
Over their last five games they have gone 3-2. But what is surprising here is that against the Reds the first two games of the series they were shut out in both matchups. Their offense has been appealing. Wilmer Flores leads them with five home runs and 14 RBIs.
San Francisco has been averaging .228 at the plate and allowing their opponents to get .223 in return. This does not appear to be a big problem just yet. But they need to separate themselves further to allow more opportunities to score and limit their opponents.
The Giants have put up a .288 on base percentage and have a slugging percentage at .404. Their ERA is at 2.78. They are starting Robbie Ray (2-0), 3.18 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) which gives them a good start to the game defensively.
New York Yankees Betting Preview
The Yankees just ended their three-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. That series was rough overall, as they were shut out once and had a hard time keeping the Tigers below five runs each game. Over their three losses, they allowed 5.33 runs and only scored 2.00 per game.
It always helps to have superstars on a team and the Yankees have one of the best offensive players in the game with Aaron Judge. He currently leads with six home runs and 20 RBIs. Paul Goldschmidt leads with a batting average at .383.
New York has been putting up a .265 batting average and allowing their opponents to get .212. This is a solid difference between the two averages and shows they are in the right trajectory.
The Yankees have a .346 on base percentage and a strong .509 slugging percentage. Their ERA needs to improve, currently at 4.44. They might struggle at first with Marcus Stroman (7.27 ERA, 1.38 WHIP). However, he is experienced and should offer a positive outlook on the mound.
