San Francisco Giants vs Pittsburgh Pirates Picks and Predictions
Our final bet for this game is the San Francisco Giants +110 over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Snell comes back and is healthy, and throws well.

May 22 2024 Giants vs Pirates Match Recap
It took 10 innings, but the San Francisco Giants came away with a 9-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The fact that this game went to extra innings had a big impact on those that made wagers on this game.
Run Line: San Francisco was actually getting 1.5 runs on the run line in this matchup, and that was not a good bet to make. The Giants didn’t need those runs as they took control of this game in the postseason.
Money Line: The moneyline odds were pretty tight ahead of this matchup, but getting the Giants at -105 was a good way to go. San Francisco did what they had to do in order to pick up a huge win in this game.
Total: Even though this game went to extra innings, the under bettors were sunk before the 10th inning game. That line was set at just 7.5 total runs and these two teams had a big day at the plate.
