The current betting odds have the Giants listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have been red hot lately as their offense has been rolling and they have been a really good road team all season. They have been winning a lot of their games lately and are trying to chase down the D-Backs in 1st place of their division. The Blue Jays haven't been as good lately with a really up and down offense all season and pitching that hasn't been good at all. They are starting Bassitt in this game but he has been really up and down this year as he has been good in some starts but really bad in others as he has given up 7+ runs in a few different starts this season. The Giants have a really good offense and they have been hot lately, they are going to get after Bassitt in this game since he hasn't been at his best this season. Meanwhile, the Giants are starting Stripling in this game and he hasn't been great this season but he was a lot better in his last start and will be looking to have a great outing against his old team here. The Giants have been playing a lot better than the Blue Jays have been lately with a more consistent offense and pitching that has been better all season. The Giants will be able to exploit the Jays with this pitching matchup. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to win this game.
