Giants Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Giants game:

• Cincinnati Reds (+1.5)
• San Francisco Giants (-1.5)

As shown above, the Giants are favored by 1.5 runs against the Reds; the minus sign (-) indicates San Francisco is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back San Francisco here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash the Giants would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Reds +1.5 would win if Cincinnati won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

The Giants were 77-85 on run lines in 2022, covering 47.5 percent of the time – putting them in lower part of the table.

Giants Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of run line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Cincinnati Reds +150
• San Francisco Giants -180

Just as with run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Giants, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Reds would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

The Giants went 81-81 in 2022, putting them in third place in the NL West and in the middle of the pack in the league.

Giants Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Giants-Reds matchup was 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

Giants totals in 2022 were in the 8th page in the league when betting the over, hitting at a 77-77-8 clip.

Giants Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting LaMonte Wade over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that Logan Webb will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Giants Futures

Expectations are high right now in San Francisco, so bettors will have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Giants futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long-term outcomes, like the Giants to win the NL West, win the National League Pennant, win the World Series, or even individual awards like winning league MVP.
