Cash Out Sports Picks backed the Giants money line, emphasizing a massive bullpen disparity. San Francisco’s relievers own MLB’s best 2.63 ERA, while Miami’s are 23rd at 4.44. The Giants score 4.29 runs per June game compared to the Marlins’ 3.81, and starter Hayden Birdsong already beat Miami earlier this month and is expected to rebound after a rocky stretch. Chance Junk has been solid (0.96 WHIP in June), but Miami is just 15-21 on the road and lacks consistent offense. San Francisco’s stronger lineup, elite late-inning relief, and home-field success make them the play.

Kenny G leaned toward grabbing the Marlins at +145 in San Francisco. He said the Giants’ bats have finally been exposed, tumbling to 19th in runs scored while hitting just .232 (24th) with a .374 slugging percentage (25th). Injuries are compounding their problems, and Oracle Park’s 25-15 under record underscores how little damage their lineup is doing. Kenny respects prospect Hayden Birdsong’s arm but pointed out that Miami counters with Jansen Junk, who has been “pretty lights-out.” Even if Birdsong throws well, Kenny doubts the Giants can supply run support and trusts a Marlins bullpen he expects to be “absolutely fine.” While Miami’s own road record sits at 15-21, the fat plus price outweighs that flaw, especially against a Giants club with no momentum. He floated a small lean to the full-game under 8, citing both teams’ under tendencies at Oracle, but his actionable play is Marlins moneyline.

It's The Final Round projected Edwards for at least one hit against rookie Hayden Birdsong. Birdsong is allowing a .290 average to left-handed bats this season and just surrendered five earned runs to Miami in his last start. Edwards, a switch hitter who will bat lefty, is slashing .317 from that side and went 3-for-3 (single, two doubles) off Birdsong in the earlier meeting, finishing that game 5-for-5. Over his past six games he’s batting .318 with seven hits. Given Birdsong’s tendency to give up a knock per inning and Edwards’ contact profile, the tout views the hit prop as a strong parlay piece.

Malcom Bamford is running it back with MIAMI MONEYLINE after successfully fading Justin Verlander last week. Quantrill’s predictable 5-IP, 2-ER baseline keeps the Marlins in games, and Miami is 7-7 in his starts despite being an underdog nearly every time. Verlander’s surface numbers look fine, but his strikeout rate (19%) is well below his 2022-23 levels and his four-seam velocity is down a tick since the layoff. Bamford projects another coin-flip matchup priced like a mismatch, and with Miami often +155 or higher he is content to "follow it off a cliff" until the books adjust.

Lonte Smith took a flyer on MIAMI +155 and OVER 7.5, fading Justin Verlander in his second start back from paternity leave. Verlander has allowed three or fewer in three straight at home but his contact rate is creeping up, while Miami’s bats showed life in a weekend series win. Cal Quantrill has been steady—five innings, 2-3 earned most nights—yet the Giants rank 5th in MLB in OPS vs righties this month, so Smith expects both offenses to contribute. He cited the emotional hangover San Francisco may feel after splitting an intense Boston set as an additional edge for the underdog.

Kenny G leaned to the Marlins at +158 because he refuses to back 42-year-old Justin Verlander until the results match the name value. Verlander is 0-4 with a 4.45 ERA and, while he has held opponents to three earned or fewer in five straight, he has also failed to work deep, issuing too many walks and allowing plenty of traffic. Miami starter Cal Quantrill (5.68 ERA) is hardly inspiring, but he did limit the Giants to two earned over five frames in their last meeting. Kenny highlighted that San Francisco’s lineup has cooled to 24th in average and 16th in runs after an unsustainable April, and the club is just 3-1 in its last four despite mediocre scoring outputs of 9-3-5. The Giants’ elite bullpen (2.63 ERA) and 25-14 home record keep them favored, yet Kenny thinks the price is inflated given Miami’s live bats—five or more runs in three of the last six—and the Fish’s willingness to run into a homer when Verlander misses a spot. With Verlander winless, Miami 5-0, 6-run, 0-run in recent games and the total sitting at 8, Kenny labeled the Marlins a “very small but worthwhile” plus-money sprinkle.
