Nationals vs Giants MLB Betting Preview, Pick
Logan Webb looks to be back to his old form after a slow start to the year and an IL stint. He's given up just four hits in his last 11 innings, no homers, and an xwOBA allowed just north of .200. The guy has a 63% GB% this year, that's his highest mark since 2021.
The Giants offense has been awesome. They are second in the league in runs scored with 124 since May 15th. Some of the dudes contributing to that:
- Jung Hoo Lee 1.100 OPS
- Willy Adames 1.017 OPS
- Bryce Eldridge .931 OPS
- Luis Arraez .930 OPS
- Casey Schmitt .898 OPS
You know by now that Miles Mikolas can get hit around. He's followed an opener the last four outings, but he's still throwing as many innings as they can reasonably let him. The Nats know the guy is bad (6.07 ERA, 2.24 HR/9), but you have to play 162 games and get 27 outs in most of them, so sometimes you just need a body up there who can throw it over the plate.
Mikolas is impressively bad at this point in his career, though. 14 homers allowed. Two on his four-seam, seven on his sinker, two on his slider, two on his changeup, one on a sweeper. He has allowed a .352 xwOBA with a 14.7% K%. There's no better pitcher to face.
Slight downgrade since this game is in AT&T Park, where it's tough to hit homers. There have been 1.68 home runs per game hit in AT&T Park this year, the third-lowest number in the league. Lefties have a 25% HR/Brl in San Francisco this year. It's very tough to exit the yard as a southpaw hitter in SF.
The hitter target to me is Willy Adames. Over his last 100 PAs, he's hitting .291/.354/.663 with a 23% K% and a 10.8% BRl%. The xwOBA is up there at .348. He's been awesome for about a month now, really shaking off that slow start. Six of his eight homers have come on the road, so that speaks to the tough home park factor.
We can get some correlation going with the Giants against Mikolas by picking off a couple of the guys in the heart of the Giants lineup for over 1.5 H+R+RBI.
- Jung Hoo Lee Over 1.5 HRR (-150)
- Willy Adames Over 1.5 HRR (-104)
- Luis Arraez Over 1.5 HRR (-144)
The Giants are a -163 favorite on the moneyline. That's pretty juiced up, but I expected it to be a little bit worse than that.
Pick: Giants Moneyline (-163)
