Final score: San Francisco Giants 1, Cleveland Guardians 8

Why this play: Expect a fireworks display at the plate as the Giants and Guardians combine for a slugfest, making the Over 8.0 the only sensible play.

Quick read:

I'm backing the Over 8.0 – these two clubs are more likely to light up the scoreboard than a Fourth of July fireworks show.

The Giants have piled up 1,048 hits while the Guardians aren't far behind with 964, and both squads have given up over 500 runs each, a recipe that usually cooks up plenty of baserunners and extra‑inning drama.

The only hitch is a sudden pitching gem could snuff the blaze, but at 8.0 runs the price feels like a cheap ticket to the show.
