The Giants just added three-time batting champion Luis Arraez on a 1-year, $12M deal, and our AI models are buzzing. Arraez is a contact machine, winning batting titles in 2022 (.316, Twins), 2023 (.354, Marlins), and 2024 (.314, Padres). He hit .292 with 181 hits and 61 RBI in 2025 with San Diego before becoming a free agent. Here's the AI edge for beginners: Arraez's elite bat-to-ball skills (.373 career OBP) project to slot perfectly in San Francisco's evolving lineup behind Jung Hoo Lee. At just $12M, this is a low-risk, high-reward signing. Our futures models now project Giants win total at 82.1 wins versus the market line of 79.5. That's a 2.6-win edge for sharp futures bettors. Giants NL West odds (+1400) look undervalued if the pitching holds. For first-time bettors: Arraez brings stability and on-base ability that drives run production. Watch for Giants team total overs early in the season.
