Season series: Dodgers lead 5-0
The Dodgers won 10-2 as -177 road favorites in the 2nd game of the series Tuesday as the Over (8.5) hit. DH Shohei Ohtani had 3 hits, including a solo shot and an RBI double, for L.A., which has won back-to-back games after losing 2 of 3 at the San Diego Padres May 10-12.
The Giants have lost 2 straight games and 4 of their last 6. They have also dropped 6 consecutive meetings with the Dodgers dating back to last year.

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Giants 3
Moneyline
The NL West-leading Dodgers (-145) should beat the rival Giants for a 7th straight time, but the run line at plus money is the more attractive play.
PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
Playing L.A. as a run-line favorite has been more profitable this season than betting its ML. The Dodgers are 13-6 straight up as away favorites and 12-7 on the run line at greater odds.
BET DODGERS -1.5 (+115).
Over/Under
Webb has been impressive at home this season, but I would lean Over in this spot since the Dodgers (MLB’s best offense with 5.36 runs per game) have hit him well over the years.
The risk here, however, is that the Giants may be too shorthanded to significantly contribute toward the total, as they are still without C Patrick Bailey (concussion), OF Jung Hoo Lee (shoulder) and DH Jorge Soler (shoulder).
LEAN OVER 8 (-105).
