The San Francisco Giants (59-34) and Los Angeles Dodgers (58-37) play the second game of a four-game set Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Alex Wood is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants. He is 8-3 with a 3.67 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 9.4 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 over 83 1/3 IP across 15 starts.
Wood has won back-to-back starts, and three straight decisions across his past five outings. His last loss was June 1 against the Los Angeles Angels. Wood is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA across 12 innings in two starts against the Dodgers this season.
The Dodgers hadn’t confirmed a starting pitcher at the time of publishing but are expected to go with a bullpen day.

Money line (ML)
The GIANTS (+120) are a value play on the road against the Dodgers, who are in a bind. They’re likely to turn to a young pitcher before transitioning to the bullpen this NL West showdown as they look to bounce back after a 7-2 loss in Monday’s series opener. It will end just like Monday did.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The GIANTS +1.5 (-165) are a little on the expensive side, and I’d prefer to play them just straight up. However, Wood has struggled against his former team this season so if you would like a little insurance this price isn’t too steep.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 8.5 (-115) is the play again Tuesday after cashing in the series opener. The Over is 3-0-1 in the last four for the Dodgers following a loss, and the Over is 23-9-1 in the last 33 for the Giants against NL West foes.
Look for San Francisco to roll up plenty of offense against a young hurler.
