Money Line: -110.00 Giants (SFG) (Away)
Result: Win
Taking the GIANTS. I will get to Robbie Ray in a second. This is really a fade of my guy B Fatty. I like Brandon Pfaadt, i do. But the kid has been a gas can this year. He has the wins sure, 8-5 in 17 starts, looks good enough. He also has allowed 97 hits in 85 innings. Just 72 Ks and 21 walks. If you aren't striking out a guy an inning in an era where strikeouts are basically encouraged, I am not all that interested in backing you most of the time. We can also look at his .280 BA Against and even a light hitting team will be able to generate some offense tonight. Robbie Ray is a guy who, when healthy, is as good as most of the top arms you want to name in baseball. We can go look at his best years in 2017 in Arizona and 2021 in Toronto. Seems like every 4 years the guy is healthy and ready to deal. Great road splits also this year with a .187 BA Against, a decent 1.13 WHIP. Again, 32 hits in 49 innings over 8 starts, 2.55 ERA. He has given up more than 3 runs just once this season back in April in Philly. We will get 6+ innings 6 K's and turn it over to one of the top bullpens in MLB. My mom taught me if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it all. So we won't mention the failures of the Arizona bullpen. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
