Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Giants 3
Money line
The Dodgers are the hottest team in the National League and going against a struggling Giants team.
L.A. is 25-5 in its last 30 games while San Francisco is 3-10 in its last 13.
The Dodgers have won 6 straight games against the Giants. They have won Urias’ last 8 starts, while the Giants have lost 6 of Cobb’s last 8 outings.
It isn’t always worth betting the Dodgers on the money line because they are often heavy favorites, so the line for Wednesday’s matchup isn’t bad. It seems like easy money, albeit not the best payout. It is just enough to be worth some action. Take the DODGERS (-165).

Run line/Against the spread
If you like the Dodgers to win outright, they are a very good bet to cover the spread. Twenty-one of their last 25 wins have been by 2 or more runs. They have only 8 one-run wins in their 70 victories.
The Giants are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games. They are 47-57 ATS overall and 20-34 ATS at home.
Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+105).

The Dodgers’ last 8 games, and 9 of their last 10, have all had 8 or more total runs.
Five of the last 6 matchups between these teams had at least 8 runs.
Five of Urias’ last 6 starts have had 8 or more runs.
