The San Francisco Giants face off against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a NL West divisional matchup on Monday night.

Even though a NL West division title is out of their reach, the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants still have a lot to play for as both clubs are currently two games back from the New York Mets for the last wildcard spot in the playoffs. Luckily for the Diamondbacks, they face off against Kai-Wei Teng who has struggled with keeping opposing runners off the bases this season.

With nine games taking place on Monday night, there are plenty of prop bets and markets to wager on which you can read a detailed breakdown of them below.

San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks (9:40pm, EST)

Arizona Diamondbacks First Five Innings Team Total Over 2.5 (-130) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Even though the Arizona Diamondbacks have struggled to break .500 this season, their offense is not to blame as their lineup ranks near the top of the board in Contact Rate, On Base Percentage, and in Slugger Percentage. Their consistency at the plate has helped them score at a high rate as the Diamondbacks also rank above league average in RBIs and in Total Runs Scored.

With Kai-Wei Teng on the mound, the Diamondbacks offense are in a favorable position to put together a dominant performance as the San Francisco Giants pitcher averages an ERA of 7.54 and a WHIP of 1.765. Especially with his back end failing to mask his low level of play on the mound with their coverage as the Giants defense ranks near dead last in Defensive Efficiency and in Fielding Percentage.

Arizona Diamondbacks First Five Innings ML (-164) at FanDuel Sportsbook

On the other side of the field, Zac Gallen has a great opportunity to round back into form as he faces off against a Giants offense who ranks in the bottom half of the board in the same previously mentioned metrics.

With Gallen averaging less than one Hit Allowed per Inning Pitched, expect the Giants to get off to a slow start while the Diamondbacks offense builds up a sizable lead on the scoreboard.

Baltimore Orioles vs Chicago White Sox (7:40pm, EST)

Kyle Bradish Over 15.5 Outs (-108) at FanDuel Sportsbook

After entering the year listed as one of the top contenders for the AL East division title, the Baltimore Orioles are on the verge of finishing in dead last as they are currently 18 games back from Toronto for first. Their low level of play on defense has played a major role in their struggles this season as the Orioles back end ranks 26th in Defensive Efficiency.

Even with his defense struggling in coverage, that has not stopped Kyle Bradish from putting together a productive 2025 campaign as the Orioles pitcher is averaging an ERA of 2.65, a WHIP of 0.941, and a FIP of 2.91. Expect Bradish to continue to play at a high level against the Chicago White Sox as he faces off against an offense who ranks well below league average in Contact Rate and in On Base Percentage.

Michael Taylor Under 0.5 Hit (-105) at Caesars Sportsbook

Since the start of the year, Michael Taylor has severely underwhelmed as the White Sox batter is averaging less than 0.5 a Hit per game and a .207 Batting Average. With Bradish also averaging less than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched, expect Taylor to continue to struggle with making contact and be held without a Hit on Monday night.

Cincinnati Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals (7:45pm, EST)

Cincinnati Reds First Five Innings Team Total Over 2 (-175) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Like the Giants and Diamondbacks, the Cincinnati Reds are also still in contention for the playoffs as they are just 2.5 games back from the Mets in the wildcard standings. With less than 15 games remaining in the regular season, the Reds must snap their three game losing skid to avoid falling further behind.

Fortunately for the Reds, they face off against the St. Louis Cardinals Matthew Liberatore who is currently averaging an ERA of 4.35 and a FIP of 4.14. Should the Reds team total for the first five innings climb up to 2.5, then reduce the size of your wager.
