Prediction: Atlanta Braves VS San Francisco Giants 2025-06-07

The Atlanta Braves, losers of four straight, are looking to right the ship against the San Francisco Giants, who are riding a two-game winning streak. The Braves will send Spencer Schwellenbach to the mound, who boasts a 3.13 ERA and 71 strikeouts through 74 2/3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, the Giants will counter with Hayden Birdsong, who has a sparkling 2.37 ERA and 9.5 strikeouts per nine innings.

The Giants have the second-best ERA in the majors this season, which doesn't bode well for the Braves' offense. Austin Riley, the Braves' leader in RBI and batting average, will need to have a big game if Atlanta wants to come out on top.

The odds are in favor of the Giants, with most books listing them as -155 favorites. The over/under is set at 7.5, with the under slightly favored.

My best bet for this game is the Giants -1.5 runs at +2.35. The Giants' strong pitching and the Braves' struggling offense make this a good value bet. The Braves are 12th in MLB with 66 total home runs, but they'll be facing a tough test in Birdsong. Take the Giants to win by multiple runs and cover the spread.

As for the total, I'd lean towards the under 7.5 at +1.82. Both teams have strong pitching, and the Giants' ERA is one of the best in the league. The Braves' offense has been struggling, and I don't see them putting up a big number against Birdsong.

So, there you have it. The Giants to win by multiple runs and the under 7.5. Let's see if the Braves can break their losing streak or if the Giants will continue to roll.
