The Los Angeles Dodgers (29-15) and San Francisco Giants (19-25) wrap up a 3-game set at Oracle Park Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45 pm. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

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 projected starters

TBD vs. RHP Logan Webb

The Dodgers will have a bullpen game. RHP Michael Grove (1-2, 5.64 ERA) and LHP Ryan Yarbrough (3-1, 2.56 ERA) will probably make appearances.

  • Grove 2024 road stats: 0-2, 5.91 ERA (10 2/3 IP, 7 ER), 1.31 WHIP in 1 start and 6 relief appearances
  • Yarbrough 2024 road stats: 0-0, 0.73 ERA (12 1/3 IP, 1 ER), 0.49 WHIP in 5 relief appearances

Webb (3-4, 3.38 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.34 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 in 53 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 7 IP, 2 ER (3 R), 8 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 4-2 home defeat vs. Cincinnati Reds Friday
  • 2024 home stats: 2-1, 1.24 ERA (29 IP, 4 ER), 1.04 WHIP in 4 starts

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).

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (28-15) take on the San Francisco Giants (19-24) Tuesday in the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Oracle Park at 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 4-0

The Dodgers prevailed 6-4 in extra innings Tuesday night to improve to 8-2 over their last 10 games. C Will Smith got jiggy with it, slapping a 2-run double in the 10th to seal the deal. The Dodgers are now 16-4 in their last 20.

The Giants have now dropped 6 of 10 and snapped a miniscule 2-game winning streak. They amassed just 6 hits Monday and struck out 13 times. OF Luis Matos delivered his 1st hit of the season, which left the park for a 3-run homer.

Dodgers at Giants projected starters

RHP Gavin Stone vs. RHP Keaton Winn

Stone (3-1, 3.55 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.26 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 6.4 K/9 in 38 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 4 K Wednesday against Miami Marlins
  • Has never faced Giants before
  • 2024 home stats: 2-0, 2.89 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 6.4 K/9 in 5 GS

Winn (3-5, 5.63 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.23 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 38 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 2/3 IP, 7 ER, 8 H, 0 BB, 1 K Thursday at Colorado Rockies
  • Career vs. L.A.: 0-2, 7.84 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 11 K in 10 1/3 IP in 2 starts

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Giants 3

Moneyline

Of the Dodgers’ 28 wins, only 5 of them have been by 1 run. Much like last season, the only way to bet on a Dodgers win is via the RL.

If you don’t want to risk the Dodgers’ RL on the road, you could SGP DODGERS ML + GAVIN STONE UNDER 2.5 EARNED RUNS (-110).

Stone hasn’t allowed more than 2 ER in his last 5 starts.

Run line/Against the spread

DODGERS -1.5 (-110) has already gone up 5 cents Tuesday morning, and it’s still the play to make. Winn has allowed 12 ER in his last 2 starts and 9 ER in 2 GS against the Dodgers.

Over/Under

The Giants are 6-4 O/U in their last 10, and the Dodgers are 4-6. All 4 games in this matchup have gone Over with totals at 8+.

The OVER 8 (-120) is the play here.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (27-15) and San Francisco Giants (19-23) open a 3-game set at Oracle Park Monday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-0

The Dodgers are coming off a 4-0 loss as +103 underdogs at the San Diego Padres Sunday with the Under (7.5) hitting. It was L.A.’s 2nd defeat in 3 games after a 7-game win streak May 1-8.

The Giants won 6-5 in 10 innings over the Cincinnati Reds Sunday with the Over (7) cashing in San Francisco. SS Casey Schmitt hit a walk-off double for the Giants, who were -113 favorites, but they lost CF Jung Hoo Lee to a shoulder injury.

Dodgers at Giants projected starters

RHP Gavin Stone vs. RHP Jordan Hicks

Stone (3-1, 3.55 ERA) makes his 8th start. The rookie has a 1.26 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 6.4 K/9 in 38 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 4 K in 3-1 home victory over Miami Marlins Wednesday
  • Career vs. Giants: 0-1, 6.23 ERA (4 1/3 IP, 3 ER), 3 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 1 relief appearance, a 5-1 home setback Sept. 22, 2023

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 8-6 victory at Colorado Rockies Wednesday
  • Career vs. Dodgers:  0-0, 0.00 ERA (9 2/3 IP), 1.24 WHIP in 1 start and 7 relief appearances

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Giants 3

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-190) will likely bounce back after getting shut out at San Diego, but their run line is being offered at a better price and should also hit Monday.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

L.A. is 9-5 this season as a favorite on the run line after a loss. The Dodgers rarely lose after a setback (10-4 straight up) and their MLB-best offense (5.24 runs per game) usually bounces back after a quiet night.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

I lean Over in this spot because the Dodgers offense will likely score 4 or more runs after getting shut out. Hicks has good numbers against L.A. in his career, but it’s too small of a sample size to take seriously against the best offense in MLB.

My only concern here is how many runs the Giants will contribute toward this total, as they have scored 2 or fewer in 2 of their last 4 games.

LEAN OVER 7.5 (-115).

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (6-5) play the 2nd outing in a 3-game road series against the San Francisco Giants (4-6) Tuesday. First pitch at Oracle Park is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 1-0. Dodgers won the season series 15-4 in 2022.

The Dodgers rolled to a 9-1 victory in the series opener, stopping a 3-game losing streak in the process. 3B Max Muncy went off on the Giants, collecting 3 hits — including 2 home runs — and picking up 7 RBIs.

The Giants won the series finale against the Kansas City Royals on Easter Sunday but have lost 3 of their last 4 games after being drummed Monday. The Giants have yet to post consecutive wins at any point so far this season. The Over is 5-2 across the past 7 games overall.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Giants projected starters

RHP Dustin May vs. LHP Alex Wood

May (1-0, 0.69 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 0.62 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 through 13 IP.

  • Allowed 1 ER on 2 H and 2 BB with 5 K across 6 IP to pick up his first win of the season at the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday
  • Yielded just 1 BB with 4 K across 5 hitless IP in San Francisco on Sept. 16, 2022, in his most recent start against the Giants

Wood (0-0, 3.00 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He allowed 3 R (1 ER) on 6 H and 2 BB with 3 K across 3 IP in a no-decision on the road against the Chicago White Sox in his first start Thursday.

  • Threw just 40 of his 71 pitches for strikes in his initial outing, posting first-pitch strikes to just 9 of the 18 batters he faced
  • Was a dismal 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA with 4 HR allowed and a .298 opponent batting average (OBA) across 14 2/3 IP in 3 starts vs. Los Angeles in 2022

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Giants 3

Moneyline

The DODGERS (-160) are a strong play as a moderate favorite. Los Angeles crushed San Francisco in the opener, and the Dodgers hold the upper hand in the pitching matchup in Round 2.

Wood fared terribly against the Dodgers last season, so the Giants cannot be trusted despite being the home team.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (+105) are worth a look at plus money.

The Dodgers have managed a 60-19 mark in the past 79 tries in Game 2 of a series and are 47-20 in their past 67 games inside the NL West.

The Giants are 1-4 in the past 5 in Game 2 or a series and 1-4 in the past 5 games at home against teams with a winning overall mark. L.A. has won 8 straight trips to Oracle Park, too.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 8 (-115) is the lean in this NL West rivalry game.

The Over is 7-3-2 in the past 12 meetings between these sides, including Monday’s series opener. The Over is also 3-0-1 in the past 4 inside the NL West for Los Angeles and is 3-0-1 in its last 4 on the road, too.

The Over has hit in 4 in a row for the Giants inside the division, while going 4-1 in the past 5 games following a loss. The Over is 4-1 in their past 5 vs. righties, too.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (5-5) and San Francisco Giants (4-5) begin a 3-game set Monday at Oracle Park. First pitch is at 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting of the 2023 season. The Dodgers won 15-4 last season.

The Dodgers were roughed up in the desert as they dropped the final 3 contests of a 4-game set to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona outscored them 29-17 in those 3 games. 1B Freddie Freeman hasn’t been the problem as he’s hitting a robust .421 (16-for-38), but he has just 1 HR and 2 RBIs.

The Giants avoided a sweep in a 3-game series against the Kansas City Royals Sunday with a 3-1 win. San Francisco has been mired by inconsistency early on. It was the 1st time the Giants won after scoring 3 or fewer runs, which they have done in 5 of their 9 games.

Urias (2-0, 1.50 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 0.75 WHIP, 0.0 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 12 IP.

  • Went 4-1 with a 0.90 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 9.9 K/9 in 5 starts against the Giants last season.
  • Giants hitters are hitting just .228 with a .271 wOBA in 132 plate appearances against Urias.

Webb (0-2, 6.55 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 1.37 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 13.1 K/9 in 11 IP.

  • Went 1-2 with a 5.57 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 5.1 K/9 in 4 starts against LAD last year.

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Giants 2

Moneyline

Urias and the Dodgers owned the Giants last year, and he has been superb to start the season. I would definitely be comfortable paying -155 on the ML here, and I am guessing it’ll get steamed up closer to -175 before first pitch. However, I like the run line more. You can either try to land a half-unit on the ML and a full unit on the run line or PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers were a great RL team last season. There was one stretch where they were a sure thing. L.A. has started slowly out of the gates, but when they win – it’s by multiple runs. All 5 wins have been by at least 2 runs. That trend continues today, and you should take the plus money while it lasts.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+115).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Dodgers are 5-4-1 O/U, and the Giants are 5-4. This is a deceiving total because it looks good, but it’s the Giants’ side that will hold it back. Urias hasn’t allowed more than 2 ER in his last 7 starts, dating back to last year, and he hasn’t allowed more than 2 ER in his last 5 against San Francisco.

I’ll LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-110) because the Dodgers’ bats have yet to come alive and could need 6 runs to cash an Over.

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Dodgers 3

Money line

Heaney’s last start against San Francisco brings in enough gray area on the L.A. side of things, and Cobb’s recent surge is supported by his ability to avoid hard contact at a near-elite rate.

The Dodgers certainly have the Giants’ number, and their run scoring-and-prevention profile would say Los Angeles is even several wins short of where it should be right now. However, as recently as mid-August to early September, San Francisco was putting up decent numbers at home.

This price tilts the edge to the S.F. bettor. BACK THE GIANTS (+155).

Run line/Against the spread

Less aggressive bettors that like the good pitching/low total/pitcher’s park angle may want to consider SAN FRANCISCO +1.5 (-117).

Over/Under

The pitching and batting signal on both sides crisscross multiple times over the low side of 7.5 runs. STEER CLEAR.

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Giants 1

Money line

PASS.

The Dodgers (-320) money line should hit, but there is better value on the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET DODGERS -2.5 (-110).

The Dodgers will still be motivated to get the victory since it will be their 100th win of the season. Los Angeles has covered the run line in each of its last 9 wins.

San Francisco should continue to struggle scoring runs with Urías on the mound for Los Angeles.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-102).

Urías should have no problem containing the Giants’ mediocre offense. San Francisco is 24th in the majors in runs per game (2.67) in its last 3 games and has struggled vs Urías this season.

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).

Over/Under

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.

Take OVER 7.5 (-115).

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Giants 4

Money line

The Dodgers are 4-1 in Kershaw’s 5 starts this season and have not lost two road games in a row since dropping 2 straight to the Diamondbacks Apr. 26-27.

The Giants have alternated winning and losing in each of their last 8 games. I expect that L.A. will bounce back after Friday’s upset with Kershaw on the mound while the Giants go with a bullpen game.

It is right on the edge of being too pricy for the play, and I think the better play is to go with the run line, but take DODGERS (-190).

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers rarely win by fewer than 2 runs. They have only four 1-run wins of their 37 this season.

Only 5 of the Giants’ last 14 losses have been by 1 run.

The Dodgers are likely to cover the spread if they win, and since they are almost always the favorite on the money line, your best value to bet the Dodgers is always the spread.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Two of the 3 games between the two teams this season have had 9 or more runs.

Four of the Dodgers’ last 6 games have 9 runs or more.

Take OVER 8.5 (-115).

Buehler (6-2, 3.84 ERA) makes his 12th start. He has a 1.31 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through 61 IP.

Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 7, Dodgers 6

Money line

The Giants have been very ordinary at home this season at 14-13, while the Dodgers are 20-10 on the road.

However, Buehler has not been pitching that well as of late, and the Giants have won Junis’ last 3 starts.

Including the playoffs, the Giants and Dodgers split their 24 games last season.

Take the GIANTS (+125) to win the opener outright for your best bet of the night.

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers won the first 2 games of the season series at home 3-1 and 9-1, covering the spread in both games. They are 33-24 ATS overall this season and 19-11 ATS on the road.

The Giants are 25-31 ATS overall this season and are 8-19 ATS at home, the 2nd-worst mark in the majors.

With Junis as the starter, the Giants have won the game outright 4 times, lost by 1 once and lost by more than 1 run once. He put them in a great position to win.

The money line is the better bet if you like the Giants to win like I do, but they also have 8 one-run losses this year. To give yourself a little leeway, you can go with GIANTS +1.5 (-125), and it is still a worthwhile play.

Over/Under

Looking at the Giants’ wins this season, 9 of their last 11 have had at least 9 runs.

Three of Junis’ last four starts have had 11 or more runs.

Buehler’s last 3, and 4 of his last 5 starts, have had double-digit totals.

Take OVER 8.5 (-135).
