Giants vs Cubs Betting Preview & Expert Predictions
Moneyline: Arizona -116 | Total: 9.0
Mets Outlook
New York’s offense got a boost Monday when Francisco Lindor crushed a three-run homer and then stretched to gun down a would-be base-stealer in the ninth, preserving a 5-4 win in Phoenix. Pete Alonso has been locked in, batting .349 with an OPS over 1.100 after Monday’s homer and single. However, the Mets will be down DH Jesse Winker (oblique strain) for 6–8 weeks, and Brooklyn addition Brett Baty may slide in around the infield.
Diamondbacks Outlook
Arizona’s rotation gets a lift from Zac Gallen, who dominated the Mets in his last start (8 K’s, 1 ER in 6 IP) and owns a 3.41 ERA over eight career outings against New York. Manager Torey Lovullo hinted at further aggressive baserunning against closer Edwin Díaz, though Monday’s swipe attempt came up just short.
Expert Pick
I like Arizona to edge out the Mets in a tight, run-suppressed contest. Take the Diamondbacks on the moneyline and play under 9.0 runs.
Predicted Final Score: Arizona 4, New York 3
Lean: Diamondbacks (-116) – Giants keep it competitive early but fall short late.
Total Play: Under 9.0 (-120)
Player Props
Zac Gallen Over 5.5 Strikeouts — Gallen fanned eight Mets last week and has 40 K’s in 37 innings versus New York.
Pete Alonso Over 1.5 Total Bases — Alonso’s hitting .349 and should collect at least two bases against Gallen’s still-rising ERA.
