Giants vs Cardinals FanDuel Betting Pick
This game will be played at Busch Stadium at 8:15 PM ET on Friday, May 13, 2022.
Why Bet The Giants:
✅ The Giants are rolling on a five-game winning streak, and it all started with a 13-7 thrashing of the Cardinals last weekend. San Francisco defeated Colorado 7-1 last Wednesday, sweeping a three-game home series against the Rockies, and the Giants are arguably playing in a better form than the Cardinals, who have dropped four of their last five contests. St. Louis just suffered a surprising loss in a three-game home set against the lowly Baltimore Orioles.
✅ The Giants have scored 43 runs over their previous six outings, smacking seven home runs in the process while drawing a whopping 32 walks. They’ve recorded a strong .287/.385/.441 slash line in that span, posting the third-highest OPS in the majors.
FanDuel Sportsbook
✅ Logan Webb has emerged victorious in each of his previous three starts despite surrendering ten earned runs across 17.2 innings of work. He’s got strong run support, as the Giants have accounted for a thumping 34 runs over those three contests. Webb carries a serviceable 3.82 ERA and an underwhelming 1.39 WHIP, but his 2.64 FIP indicates that the 25-year-old righty is doing a great job for the Giants.
San Francisco Giants
The Giants improved to 19-12 on the season following that 7-1 victory to the Colorado Rockies. Brandon Crawford homered in the bottom of the fifth inning to give his team a 5-0 lead; Alex Cobb threw 5.1 frames of a one-run ball, while four relievers allowed just one hit to the Rockies.
San Francisco ranks ninth in the majors in home runs with 32, and Joc Pederson leads the charge with six dingers. Brandon Belt went yard four times and boasts a .253/.387/.467 triple-slash (146 OPS+). On the pitching side of things, the Giants’ bullpen has registered a 5.82 ERA and 3.15 FIP so far this month.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cards are coming off an upsetting 3-2 home loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday afternoon. Steven Matz fanned seven across 6.2 innings, but he also yielded three earned runs, while his teammates accounted for just six hits.
Jordan Hicks is 1-2 with a 3.78 ERA, 4.50 FIP, and 1.20 WHIP in four starts and two relief appearances in 2022. The 25-year-old righty tossed 4.1 innings of a two-run ball in a no-decision against the Giants last week.
