Tonight&#8217;s showdown in the Bay Area features two very talented starters, Spencer Schwellenbach (3.13 ERA) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/hayden_birdsong\/pitching-stats\">Hayden Birdsong<\/a> (2.37).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Braves vs. Giants predictions, including <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTc4NzU5JnA9MjM3Njk%3D\">props<\/a> on Birdsong and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/ronald_acuna_jr\/batting-stats\">Ronald Acuna Jr.<\/a> in a +275 SGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Braves vs. Giants predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parlay: Under 8.5 runs | Acuna over 0.5 hits | Birdsong over 4.5 Ks (+275)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTc4NzU5JnA9MjM3Njk%3D\">Under 8.5 runs (-165):<\/a><\/strong> Pitching depth in the rotation and bullpen has carried the Giants through a rather brutal offensive stretch lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>San Francisco is 9-9 in its past 18 games despite scoring just 2.3 runs per game. How? Because the team has allowed just 2.4 runs\/game in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This under is 16-2 in the Giants&#8217; past 18 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out where the Giants&#8217; offence ranks over that time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>27th in wRC+ (74)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30th in ISO (.101)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>29th in BA (.209)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30th in SLG (.310)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Schwellenbach is having a great year, which includes a 91st-percentile chase rate, per Baseball Savant. He should feast against a desperate lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, Birdsong&#8217;s past three outings for the Giants have featured an average of just 5.0 runs. He&#8217;s capable of holding up his end of the bargain in a pitchers&#8217; duel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:114554\">Embed: #114554<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"insights\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/baseball\/mlb?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full MLB betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/mlb-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>MLB injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"insights\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/top-players\/hitting\/OPS-on-base_plus_slugging?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>MLB stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTc4NzU5JnA9MjM3Njk%3D\">Acuna over 0.5 hits (-305):<\/a><\/strong> Acuna hasn&#8217;t stolen any bases yet, but he otherwise looks like his old self for a Braves team that can certainly use the pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023 NL MVP, who has suffered multiple ACL tears, made his season debut on May 23 and homered on the first pitch he saw. He hasn&#8217;t slowed down since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>15-for-45 (.333 BA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1.056 OPS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1+ hits in 10 of 12 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Acuna hasn&#8217;t faced Birdsong yet, but I&#8217;ll put the right fielder up against any arm in this market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, 23 of his 29 balls in play have been hard-hit (i.e., 95 mph exit velocity or greater).

He averaged 5.5 Ks per outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But given that he also had a 4.75 ERA, the Giants slid him into the bullpen to start this season. Now he&#8217;s back in the rotation and has cashed this bet in back-to-back starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlanta has MLB&#8217;s eighth-highest K rate over the past two weeks (25.3%), and this line isn&#8217;t asking for too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birdsong is 13-6 vs. this Ks prop in 19 career starts.
