Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Giants lead 3-2
The red-hot Giants seek a sweep of the Dodgers and of their road trip. They are 5-0 on the current road trip, have won 6 in a row and are 9-2 in their last 11 games. They walloped the Dodgers in a 15-0 shutout win Saturday after taking the opener 7-5. A win Sunday will move them into 2nd place in the NL West, ahead of the Dodgers.

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 4, Giants 2
Moneyline
The Giants have averaged 9.7 runs per game in their 6-game win streak.
However, the Dodgers have not been swept in a series yet this season.
Webb, after a spectacular May, has been less impressive this month, while Gonsolin has been stellar since his return to the rotation in May.
I like the Dodgers to salvage the final game of the series, but I almost always prefer the run line for the Dodgers.
PASS on the moneyline.
Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers are 38-33 ATS overall this season but are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games.
But they still usually win by more than 1 run. Of their 39 wins, 32 have been by 2 or more runs. My rule of thumb is to bet the run line with the Dodgers if I think they will win because it usually involves positive odds.
BET DODGERS -1.5 (+155).

Five of the last 6 for the Giants have had more than 8 total runs.
Four of the 5 matchups between the 2 teams this year have had more than 8 runs.
Eight of Webb’s last 9 starts have had 7 or fewer total runs.
BET UNDER 8 (+100).
