Giants vs. Marlins: Public Bettors Leaning Towards Miami

Chapman hits solo home run in loss
Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against the Marlins on Tuesday. Chapman crushed a second-inning pitch from Ryan Weathers 428 feet at 108.6 mph off the bat. He also added a 106.5 mph double on the night. Chapman did have a strikeout as well, but he now has 19 strikeouts in 18 games, which is an improvement from his strikeout rate in 2023. Still, Chapman is slashing just .205/.256/.411 so the Giants will be hoping he can make a bit more contact to go along with his four home runs and 11 RBI.
Da La Cruz has busy day vs. Giants
Bryan De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and a steal in a win over the Giants on Tuesday. The double was crushed 108.7 mph off the bat for an RBI. He also later stole third base for his first steal of the season. De La Cruz continues to hit in the middle of the order against right-handed pitchers and is slashing .276/.286/.408 on the season with two home runs and nine RBI. He’s also being far more aggressive in the zone, which has come with a 13 percent barrel rate but an over 17 percent swinging strike rate. That’s pretty boom or bust.

Giants vs. Marlins MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take San Francisco. Winn is 0-3 to start the season but he’s coming off a solid showing against the Rays last Friday. Despite taking the loss, he struck out six while allowing only two runs. He just didn’t receive any run support. Winn should fare well again today when he faces a Miami team that owns a 90 wRC+ versus right-handed pitching to start the season.
Conversely, the Giants own a wRC+ of 113 against left-handed pitchers. Even if they can’t figure out Rogers, Miami’s bullpen has been a disaster this season, posting at 5.89 ERA. Only Tampa’s is worse at 6.27.
