Giants vs. Diamondbacks Best MLB Prop Bet

If you're looking for a plus-money player prop for this game, check out my pick that I wrote about in today's edition of Painting Corners:

Eugenio Suarez has been horrific against left-handed pitchers this season. His batting average drops from .271 against righties to .176 against lefties. Tonight, he'll have to take on Robbie Ray, one of the best left-handed starters in the Majors. If you want a plus-money prop to play tonight, there are going to be few that line up as well as Suarez to not record a hit against this Giants team.

Giants vs. Diamondbacks Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Walk-Off Wagers, I broke down why I'm betting on the Giants to take care of business on the road:

The time to fade the Diamondbacks is when they're facing a left-handed pitcher. The Diamondbacks have the best OPS in the Majors against right-handed pitchers this season at .802, but that number falls all the way to .721 when facing left-handed pitchers.

Tonight, the Diamondbacks will take on one of the better left-handed starters in baseball in Robbie Ray, who has an 8-3 record and a 2.75 ERA on the season. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks will roll with Brandon Pfaadt, whose 5.38 ERA is less than impressive.

Not to mention, this is a game between the top-ranked bullpen in baseball in the Giants (2.95 ERA), and the 27th-ranked bullpen in the Giants (5.22 ERA).
