San Francisco Giants 2024 World Series Odds
While the San Francisco Giants are rid of the stench of erratic manager Gabe Kapler, they are yet to return to the status of a serious contender. San Francisco is inconsistent at the plate and unreliable on the mound. They are a lumbering team that cannot steal bases, and they are below average on the field. Why that will change in the second half of 2024 is anyone’s guess. There is no evidence that the Giants will make a serious postseason run in 2024. Their best bet is to build for the future. From a gambling perspective, the best advice to be given about San Francisco is caveat emptor.

Manager Gabe Kapler started with a bang by leading the San Francisco Giants to a 107-55 record in 2021. But the then-first-year manager and his team ran out of steam with a 3-2 NLDS loss to the hated arch-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. And that proved to be the beginning of the end for Kapler. San Francisco fell to 81-81 in 2022 and then 79-83 last season. The erratic Kapler was let go, and veteran MLB manager Bob Melvin will take over. Melvin has led three different franchises to the MLB playoffs. However, a lackluster offseason has gamblers lukewarm about San Francisco in the 2024 future market.
Last season, the Giants drowned gamblers in red ink. San Francisco proved to be overvalued with overlay prices by a public that was still enamored with their 2021 rampage. This year, gamblers will take a wait-and-see approach on a team they have soured on.
The Giants went into the offseason looking to improve their athleticism and defense, which they took a step toward addressing by signing Jung Hoo Lee to a six-year, $113 million deal. Still, they were unable to fill their superstar void following their failed pursuits for Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who are now teammates with the rival Dodgers.
To gamblers, the major concern is how will the starting rotation hold up in the first half? Logan Webb will return to anchor the starting staff, but the Giants will be relying heavily on a converted reliever (Jordan Hicks) and three relatively unproven arms (Kyle Harrison, Keaton Winn, and Tristan Beck) to cover a ton of innings until Alex Cobb (left hip surgery) and Ray (Tommy John surgery) are ready to return to action.
