Houston Astros vs San Francisco Giants Betting Preview

The San Francisco Giants and the Houston Astros square off in an interleague clash on June 10, 2024, at Oracle Park. Despite both teams having subpar seasons, this matchup presents unique narratives and potential betting opportunities.

The Giants come into this game with a 32-33 record, indicating an average season, while the Astros lag slightly behind at 30-35, marking a below-average year. For the Giants, left-hander Kyle Harrison will be on the mound. According to advanced-stat Power Rankings, Harrison ranks as the 174th-best starting pitcher in MLB, suggesting a struggle this season. The Astros counter with right-hander Spencer Arrighetti, who is considered one of the worst starting pitchers in the league.

Offensively, the Giants boast the 8th-best team batting average this season, but their power numbers and speed metrics are less impressive, ranking 20th in home runs and dead last in stolen bases. The Giants' best hitter over the last week has been Heliot Ramos, who is red-hot with a .500 batting average and a 1.712 OPS over his last 6 games.

Meanwhile, the Astros' offense is among the league's elite, ranking 2nd in team batting average and 4th in home runs. Their middle-of-the-pack ranking in stolen bases reflects a balanced approach. Over the last week, Yordan Alvarez has been the standout with a .417 batting average and a 1.315 OPS in his last 6 games.

Betting markets favor the Astros slightly, with a moneyline set at -125 and an implied win probability of 53%. However, THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system, gives the Giants a 52% win probability, suggesting potential value in betting on San Francisco. Both teams have implied team totals hovering around 4 runs, indicating a closely contested game, with the total set at 8.0 runs.

Quick Takes Houston Astros:

Houston has performed as the #2 offense in the game when it comes to hitting balls between 23° and 34°, the launch angle range that tends to result the most in home runs (17.1% rate since the start of last season).

• Balls that are hit too low can't clear the fences, and balls that are hit too high generally don't go far enough and are easy pop flies, but balls hit between 23° and 34° are far more likely to become home runs.

Quick Takes San Francisco Giants:

The San Francisco Giants bullpen profiles as the best in the league, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).

• Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game's runs.
