Free MLB Picks for Sunday Night Baseball 7/30/17 – Giants @ Dodgers Side & Total Predictions

Free MLB Picks for Sunday Night Baseball 7/30/17 – Giants @ Dodgers Side & Total Predictions: The San Francisco Giants will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of their top rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, tonight on Sunday Night MLB Baseball at 8:05 PM EST on ESPN. The odds makers at Bovada Sportsbook have posted the betting line on this game with the Dodgers being a -145 moneyline favorite to win. The game total is set at over/under 8 runs. Let’s look at the starting pitching matchup for tonight’s game and make our free MLB picks on the side and total to bet on tonight at the top USA betting sites.

The San Francisco Giants enter tonight’s game dead last in the National League West Division with a record of 40-65. The Giants are simply playing for pride at this point as they are a whopping 33.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. The Giants come into tonight’s game 4-6 in their last 10 games including losses the last two nights against the Dodgers by scores of 2-1 and 6-4.

The Giants will trot out lefthander Madison Bumgarner tonight to stem the tide. Bumgarner is just 1-4 with a 3.38 ERA so far this season in which he has been nagged by injuries. The lefty is one of the top pitchers in the game when he is healthy and he is coming off of his first win of the season as he won a decision against Pittsburgh in his last outing. Bumgarner went 5 innings giving up 6 hits and just 1 earned run last time out and has now pitched 45.1 innings this season, allowing 41 hits, striking out 42 batters and walking just 8.

The Los Angeles Dodgers enter tonight’s game looking to sweep their rivals and further increase their strangle hold on the NL West Division. The Dodgers enter play tonight with a record of 73-31 and own a 13 game lead over Arizona in the NL West race. The Dodgers are 8-2 in their last 10 games and are a dominant 46-13 at home so far this season.

The Dodgers will hand the ball to right-hander Hyun-jin Ryu to toe the slab tonight. Ryu is 3-6 with a 4.17 ERA this season and has not registered a decision in his last three outings. Ryu’s last win was back on June 17th against Cincinnati. Ryu has tossed 77.2 innings so far this season and has gave up 85 hits, struck out 74 and walked 25 batters.

We are going to go against the grain here tonight and put in a bet on the far inferior team, the Giants. Why, you ask? Well, starting pitching is usually the name of the game in betting on MLB Baseball and we like Bumgarner a helluva lot more than Ryu tonight. Bumgarner is coming off his first win of the season and he is one of the best big game performers in the sport. Tonight is on national TV and the Giants are looking to avoid an embarrassing sweep to their top rivals. Bumgarner should pitch a great game and give the Giants bullpen a lead to work with late. Mark us down for a bet on the Giants +135 plus an UNDER bet on the 8 run total.
