The current betting odds have the Giants listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have been really hot in their games lately with one of the best offenses in the league and they have also been a really good road team. The Blue Jays have been really up and down this season, their offense hasn't been consistent in their games and they are struggling to get out of 4th place in their division with so many strong teams ahead of them. The Giants have been a really good road team with a really good offense though and they will be motivated to win this series since they are trying to chase down the Diamondbacks who lead their division and did chip away at that by beating them in a series over the weekend. The Giants also have Walker starting in this game and he has been really good in his few starts despite being a rookie. He hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts at all but the Blue Jays also have a solid starter here with Gausman on the mound in this game. Gausman has been their ace this season but he did give up 3 runs in his last start and hasn't been at his best lately. He has still been pitching well but this Giants offense has been really hot lately and they have also been a lot more consistent than the Blue Jays offense which gives them the edge here with 2 solid starters on the mound. The Giants offense will wake up for this game and carry the team by putting up runs while Walker fends off the inconsistent Blue Jays lineup. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to win this game.

“Really good contact hitter. It’s one of the things we’re noticing. He’s got really good bat-to-ball skills, a really good understanding where the sweet spot is on the bat. Nice to have a hitter down at the bottom of the lineup that can do that kind of damage.” - Gabe Kapler after his team’s win against the D-Backs in their game on Saturday.

“When he’s swinging at the right pitch, he’s as dangerous as anyone. He makes us go at the top of the lineup. He’s a big part of what we are, how we’re built.” - John Schneider after his team’s win against the A’s in their game on Sunday.
