Keeping units low here until I have a larger sample on whether my MLB moneyline is performing well. Available at FanDuel. I love Dylan Cease, but this is largely a bet on Logan Webb. Webb was lights out in his 2023 debut and now faces an active roster with a 97 wRC+ against righties since the start of last year. It's a mighty fine matchup for him. I've got the Giants' win odds at 50.3%, up from 46.7% implied. Given how well Webb pitched, I'm more than okay with that.

D.Cease o7.5 Ks-126

This Giants team profiles to strikeout a lot, again, as they have been so far early this season. Last season, they struggled vs power pitchers and away from home. They get both against Cease who looked fantastic vs the Astros with 10 Ks on 85 pitches. Cease was electric at home last season and I expect the same in his first home start this year. 10/18 clearing this line at home last season, including 8 of his first 10 starts. Not a ton of experience vs this Giants lineup, which should play to his advantage.
