Cubs vs Giants Sharp Bets, Expert Picks & Predictions – July 28, 2022

The Chicago Cubs square off against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. This game starts on July 28, 2022 at 9:45pm EST. I’ll be sharing my best bets & expert picks in this betting preview! I have a few sharp baseball betting picks for you!

Justin Steele (4-6, 4.02 ERA) is set to square off for the Chicago Cubs, and Alex Wood (6-8, 4.21 ERA) is scheduled to start for the San Francisco Giants. The Giants fell to the Diamondbacks yesterday. Logan Webb surrendered four earned runs in this game.

I was on the Diamondbacks moneyline yesterday. If you’re in the OddsJam Discord Chat Room, then you know I gave out this play. This was a 0.5 unit play for me. I thought it was one of the top MLB betting picks for Wednesday, July 27.

The Cubs, on the other hand, are coming off a 2 game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. That’s their second straight sweep, and they’ve now won six straight games.

Regardless, I think Alex Wood will perform well against the Cubs today on 7/28/2022, and my first MLB betting pick for this game is the San Francisco Giants moneyline. I bet them at -128 moneyline odds on WynnBet sportsbook for a little over 2 units – $1030.50 is my stake. My sharp baseball bet is below.

The total runs over/under in the game is currently set at 8, slightly juiced towards the under. The run line is set at Giants -1.5, with DraftKings offering +155 odds on this pick.

Aside from my bet on the Giants moneyline, I have a “First Inning Total Runs” prop bet. These bets are referred to as YRFI and NRFI bets. YRFI means “Yes Run First Inning,” and NRFI simply means “No Runs First Inning.”

My sharp MLB betting pick is on the Yes Run First Inning. I think that the Giants will be able to get out to an early lead against the Cubs. I think the value in the YRFI bet at +100 odds is too good to pass up, and I bet it for the maximum allowed, $109.46.
