The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants haven't looked great in their games this season with their 43-45 record overall which has them out of the playoff race at the moment. They haven't looked good in their road games either, going 18-26 in their road games this season. Meanwhile, the Guardians have looked really good in their games this season with their 54-31 record overall which has them leading the AL Central with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their home games with their 28-10 home record. The Guardians have been great all season, but they haven't looked great in their games lately as they are only 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Giants have been getting hot with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games, and they also have a more favorable pitching matchup in this game. Harrison is on the mound for the Giants and he is 4-3 with a 3.96 ERA. The team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting, but he only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. Now that the Giants are putting up runs, he is bound to turn things around with some wins since he has been pitching so well. The Guardians are going to have Allen starting who is 8-4 with a 5.75 ERA. The Guardians have won 3 of their last 4 games with him starting, but he still gave up 3 earned runs in his last start and that has been a common theme for him this year. He is going to give up runs with the Giants offense hitting a lot better now and the Giants have the momentum from beating some good teams over the last week while the Guardians haven't been at their best. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to win this game.
