The Oracle Park will be windy on Sunday, and thus many runs will get scored, especially those longballs will be in play. Thus, it's the safer pick to go with over 8.5 runs total scored.Being at home, the Giants will carry a slight edge, but the Angels’ offense is capable of breaking out at any time. Mike Trout and Jorge Soler are some of the players Verlander & Co. will have to keep an eye on.Still, the Giants look like the safer pick and expect Verlander to hold his way and take a win here.Final Score Prediction:Giants 6, Angels 4Best Bets:Pick: Giants Moneyline (-115)Pick: Over 8.5 Runs
