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).

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

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

The Los Angeles Dodgers (37-21) and San Francisco Giants (31-26) play the second of their 3-game series Saturday. First pitch is 7:15 p.m. ET at Oracle Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Dodgers lead the season series 2-1 so far after the Giants took the series opener 7-2 Friday.

The Dodgers are 2-2 so far on their 6-game road trip. They are 4-7 in their last 11 games.

The Giants have alternated wins and losses in their last 8 games. They are 7-5 in their last 12 games.

Dodgers at Giants projected starters

LHP Clayton Kershaw vs. LHP Sam Long

Kershaw (4-0, 1.80 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 0.73 WHIP, 0.9 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 through 30 IP.

  • Has not pitched since May 7 as he has been on the IL with a lower back/SI joint injury.
  • Has allowed 1 or fewer runs in 4 of his 5 starts this season.

Long (0-1, 2.35 ERA) makes his 12th appearance of the year and his 4th start. He has 7 BB and 10 K through 15 1/3 IP.

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).

Dodgers at Giants projected starters

RHP Walker Buehler vs. RHP Jakob Junis

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.

  • Buehler is coming off his worst start of the season, giving up 5 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks in 2 1/3 innings in a 9-4 loss to the Mets.
  • He has allowed 9 earned runs in his last 8 1/3 innings.

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).

NLDS Game 5: Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants NLDS Game 5 odds and lines, with expert MLB picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants meet the Los Angeles Dodgers Thursday for Game 5 of their National League Division Series at Oracle Park. First pitch is scheduled for 9:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Dodgers worked over the Giants by a 7-2 count in Game 4 behind RHP Walker Buehler in a game they had to have. L.A. scored 16 total runs in its two victories and has been held scoreless in each of its two losses.

Series tied 2-2.

Dodgers LHP Julio Urias (20-3, 2.96 ERA) posted a 1.02 WHIP, 9.5 K/9 and 1.8 BB/9 through 185 2/3 IP across 32 starts during the regular season.

  • Went 5 IP with 1 ER, 3 H and 0 BB in a Game 2 victory at San Francisco Oct. 9.
  • Posted a 2-1 record and 3.38 ERA with 33 K across 29 1/3 IP in five regular-season starts against the Giants.

Giants RHP Logan Webb (11-3, 3.03 ERA) posted a 1.11 WHIP, 9.6 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 through 148 1/3 IP spanning 26 starts and one relief appearance in the regular season.

  • Twirled 7 2/3 scoreless innings with 5 H, 0 BB and 10 K in a victory in Game 1 against the Dodgers.
  • The California native posted a sparkling 6-0 record, 1.96 ERA and .213 opponent batting average across 73 1/3 IP over 12 starts and one relief appearance at home in the regular season.

Prediction

Dodgers 3, Giants 2

Money line (ML)

The DODGERS (-112) were up against it heading into Game 4, but they responded with a ton of offense. The bats won’t be nearly as hot in this one, which shapes up as a potential pitcher’s duel.

Urias has been rock-solid all season, but Webb has been surprisingly good, too. He dominated the Dodgers in this very same venue in the series opener, so it won’t be easy for L.A.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The GIANTS +1.5 (-190) are a little on the pricey side, but I like the home side catching the run and a half in this pivotal Game 5. I think the Dodgers scratch out the win and eliminate the Giants, but the home side will keep it within a run.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 6.5 (+100) is the lean, but it’s only worth a small-unit play. Urias and Webb have pitched well this season and so far in the postseason, however, both of these teams are dangerous offensively, so be careful.

NLDS Game 2: Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants NLDS Game 2 odds and lines, with expert MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers meet the San Francisco Giants for the second of their best-of-5 National League Division Series at Oracle Park Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

San Francisco handled business in Game 1 with a 4-0 victory. The Giants jumped out to an early lead thanks to a 2-run blast by Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford and Kris Bryant each chipped in solo home runs. San Francisco starting RHP Logan Webb had 7 2/3 IP with 5 H, 10 K and 0 BB.

Series: Giants lead 1-0.

LHP Julio Urias is on the mound for L.A. Urias was 20-3 with a 2.96 ERA (185 2/3 IP, 61 ER), 1.02 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 over 32 regular-season starts.

  • Second-half splits: 9-0 with a 2.04 ERA (79 1/3 IP, 18 ER), 0.95 WHIP and 5.1 K/BB over 14 starts.
  • Urias was 2-1 in five regular-season starts against San Francisco with a 3.38 ERA (29 1/3 IP, 11 ER), 1.16 WHIP and 11.0 K/BB.
  • vs. Giants on the current roster (190 PA): 2.89 FIP with a .264 batting average (BA), .306 wOBA, .377 expected slugging percentage (xSLG), 25.8 K% and 85.5 mph exit velocity (EV).

RHP Kevin Gausman takes the hill for the Giants. Gausman was 14-6 with a 2.81 ERA (192 IP, 60 ER), 1.04 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 10.6 K/9 in 33 regular-season starts.

  • Second-half splits: 5-3 with a 4.42 ERA (77 1/3 IP, 38 ER), 1.37 WHIP and 4.7 K/9 over 15 starts.
  • Gausman was 1-1 against L.A. in three starts this year with a 3.21 ERA (14 IP, 5 ER), 1.14 WHIP and 2.0 K/BB.
  • vs. Dodgers on the current roster (204 PA): 4.61 FIP with a .268 BA, .336 wOBA, .456 xSLG, 19.6 K% and 89.1 mph EV.

Prediction

Giants 4, Dodgers 3

Money line (ML)

How can we not take the best team in baseball at home at even money? I’ve lost too much money this season not taking the GIANTS (+100) seriously.

San Francisco has the best bullpen ERA in the majors and Gausman is the ace of that staff. The Giants’ lineup is deeper and better than the Dodgers’ this season: San Francisco has a better BA, WAR, wRC+, and wOBA than L.A.

There might be some “gambler’s fallacy” skewing the pricing in San Francisco’s favor. What I mean by that is the one-way betting action on L.A. is mostly based on the market not believing the world champion Dodgers will be eliminated in the first round – and maybe they won’t.

However, I’m cool with fading the market’s Dodgers bullishness and throw 1 unit on the GIANTS (+100) to take a 2-0 series lead heading back to L.A.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS with a slight “lean” to the Giants +1.5 (-175) because betting San Francisco’s run line has been easy money this season. The Giants are 45-13 ATS as an underdog so I’d entertain betting their run line. But, I’d rather save my money for the Under.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 7.5 (-122) for a half unit as more of a fade on the market.

Nearly 90% of the cash wagered is on the Over according to Pregame.com at the time of writing, but the Under is pricier. That tells me either the House is taking “sharp” money on the Under or is enticing more pro-Over money.

Urias is the most underrated pitcher on L.A.’s staff. No one has mentioned Urias in the NL Cy Young race. All this guy has done is lead the majors in wins and have a sub-3.00 ERA. Plus Urias has been lights out at Oracle Park this season.

Both teams play more to the Under in their respective location-based O/U trends and the Under has cashed in four of the past five Dodgers-Giants meetings.

NLDS Game 1: Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants NLDS Game 1 odds and lines, with expert MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants open their National League Division Series Friday at Oracle Park in a matchup of the majors’ best two records. First pitch is scheduled for 9:37 p.m. ET (TBS). Let’s analyze the lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Giants won the NL West and the league’s top seed behind an MLB-best 107-55 regular-season record. The Dodgers, who finished 1 game back at 106-56, beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 on LF Chris Taylor’s 2-run, 2-out, walk-off homer in Wednesday’s NL Wild Card Game at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers RHP Walker Buehler (16-4, 2.47 ERA) makes his 34th start. He has a 0.97 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 through 207 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: Win, 5 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 11 K in 10-3 home victory vs. Milwaukee Brewers Sunday
  • Career vs. Giants: 7-1, 2.55 ERA, 1.12 WHIP in 11 starts and two relief appearances

Giants RHP Logan Webb (11-3, 3.03 ERA) makes his 27th start and 28th appearance. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 through 148 1/3 IP.

  • Last outing: Win, 7 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 11-4 home victory vs. San Diego Padres Sunday that clinched the NL West title
  • Career vs. Dodgers: 1-2, 3.64 ERA, 1.05 WHIP in six starts

Prediction

Giants 3, Dodgers 2

Money line (ML)

SAN FRANCISCO (+100) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.

At +100, the value is with the Giants. They not only finished with MLB’s best overall record, but they posted the second-best home record (54-27).

A Dodgers’ disadvantage is they’ll be without 1B Max Muncy, who dislocated his elbow on the final day of the regular season and wasn’t able to play in the NL Wild Card win. Muncy led the team in homers (36) and RBIs (94), runs (95) and on-base percentage among qualified hitters (.368).

But this is an extremely close matchup.

San Francisco won the season series 10-9, which included a walk-off victory by each club. Plus, there with 6-one run games with each team winning three apiece.

In Los Angeles’ last two series trips to Oracle Park, the Giants took two of three each time.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS despite the Giants owning the best ATS mark in the majors.

ATS records:

  • Regular season: Dodgers 82-80 | Giants 98-64
  • Postseason: Dodgers 1-0 | Giants 0-0

The -180 price on San Francisco +1.5 is a bit expensive. Plus, we’re already invested on the Giants’ money line.

Over/Under (O/U)

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Of the Giants’ last nine losses, eight have been by multiple runs.

BACK THE DODGERS -1.5 (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

As a series, this matchup has a lot of cross signals. However, a low total and two overworked bullpens, tab the OVER 7.5 (-112) as a moderate lean.

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Giants 4

Money line (ML)

The Dodgers arrived in Northern California with a three-game win streak in tow, but the host Giants took Friday’s opener 3-2 in 11 innings.

Los Angeles is still 20-5 over its last 25 games. The Dodgers have averaged 4.6 runs per game while allowing just 2.5 RPG over that stretch.

San Francisco is continuing a home stand that got off to a rough start by losing three of four games to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Giants offense has logged a mere .646 OPS since Aug. 17.

The Giants are now up 9-8 in the season series that has seen San Francisco outscore Los Angeles, 71-70.

Urias is much the better option here, and he looks to be catching the Giants on a down note.

BACK THE DODGERS (-170).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

After its last eight losses, Los Angeles is 7-1 in the following game. Six of those seven wins were by 2 or more runs.

BACK THE DODGERS -1.5 (+100).

Lots of cross signals here. STEER CLEAR.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds, expert picks and prediction

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

The Los Angeles Dodgers (85-49) and San Francisco Giants (85-49) open a three-game NL West series Friday. First pitch is set for 9:45 p.m. ET at Oracle Park. Let’s analyze the lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP David Price is the projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers. He is 4-2 with a 3.88 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 7.4 K/9, and 2.7 BB/9 over 67 1/3 IP across 11 starts and 22 relief appearances.

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Giants 4

Money line (ML)

The Dodgers arrive in Northern California with a three-game win streak in tow. L.A. has been on a roll since early August and is 20-4 over its last 24 games. The Dodgers have averaged 4.6 runs per game while allowing just 2.5 RPG over that stretch.

San Francisco is continuing a home stand that got off to a rough start by losing three of four games to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Giants offense has gone in the tank, posting a .654 OPS since Aug. 17.

The longtime National League rivals have played 16 games this season, and they have split them right down the middle with each team scoring 68 runs.

There is a fade the Giants tilt to this series and a fade DeSclafani tilt to this first game. Los Angeles comes in after an off day while San Francisco does not, so advantage to the Dodgers on the bullpen rest department.

The Dodgers have won three straight road-series openers and the price is attractive for taking them in Friday’s game.

BACK THE DODGERS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Los Angeles is 8-3 in its last 11 games following a day off, and seven of those victories have been by 3 or more runs. This is a more risk-acceptable play in the +140 range, but consider some action of the DODGERS -1.5 (+133).

Over/Under (O/U)

Lots of cross signals here. STEER CLEAR.

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (62-41) and San Francisco Giants (63-38) wrap up a three-game series Thursday at Oracle Park. First pitch is set for 3:45 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 8-7

Los Angeles shut out San Francisco 8-0 Wednesday, rebounding from a 2-1 loss in Tuesday’s opener.

LHP David Price is projected to start the series finale for the Dodgers. He is 4-0 with a 3.35 ERA (40 1/3 IP, 15 ER), 1.46 WHIP, 8.7 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in six starts and 20 relief appearances.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 4 K in start vs. Colorado Rockies Friday – Dodgers lost 9-6 in 10 innings
  • 2021 as starter: 0-0, 2.84 ERA (19 IP, 6 ER), 1.16 WHIP, 9.5 K/9 in six starts
  • Career vs. Giants: 0-2, 2.45 ERA (29 1/3 IP, 8 ER), 0.72 WHIP, 8.9 K/9 in four starts and one relief appearance

RHP Johnny Cueto is penciled in to start for the Giants. He is 6-5 with a 4.09 ERA (88 IP, 40 ER), 1.26 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 in 16 starts.

  • Money line: Dodgers -125 (bet $125 to win $100) | Giants +105 (bet $100 to win $105)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Dodgers -1.5 (+125) | Giants +1.5 (-155)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Giants 3, Dodgers 2

Money line (ML)

SAN FRANCISCO (+105) offers great value at plus money.

The Giants feature the best home record in the National League at 32-16.

It’s no fluke – at this point of the season – that they have the best overall record in baseball.

Plus, the Giants are expected to activate SS Brandon Crawford, who has been out since July 19 with a left oblique strain.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

While the Giants own the best ATS record in the majors, AVOID backing their -1.5 spread since the juice is a bit costly at -155.

However, five of their seven victories vs. the Dodgers have been by 2 or more runs.

ATS records: Dodgers 49-54 | Giants 63-38

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 8.5 (-105) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.

Price and Cueto are Under pitchers.

The Under is 5-1 in Price’s starts.

The Under is 9-6 when Cueto takes the hill, including 7-2 in his last nine starts.

O/U records: Dodgers 49-49-5 | Giants 48-50-3
