The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have been really hot in their games lately as they were just on one of the longest winning streaks in the MLB just over a week ago and they also have a really good offense. The Blue Jays also have a good offense but they have been really up and down all season and it doesn't help that their pitching hasn't been that good. They are only in 4th place of their division while the Giants are in 2nd place of their division and will be looking to gain some ground on the NL West leaders here. The Giants are going with Webb in this game and he has been a solid starter for them all season, not giving up many runs in his starts. The Jays have Richards going in this game though and he hasn't been that great in his starts. He has been giving up a lot of runs lately and he will struggle against this really hot Giants offense, especially since the bullpen hasn't been great lately either. The Giants have also been a really good road team all season and they will keep rolling here. 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.
