My Best Bet For Diamondbacks vs Giants
Arizona -120
I’ve been keeping an eye on Weaver all season and I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen. Add in that he’s facing the No. 27 scoring offense in the majors with a red-hot offense behind him, and I think Arizona is being undervalued here.
There’s plenty of early money coming in on the Dbacks, so this line could close at -130 or higher.
