Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 6, Dodgers 4
Money line
BET the GIANTS (+115) for 1 unit because they are 22-3 SU in Webb’s home starts since the beginning of last season, which includes 2-1 SU vs. the Dodgers (-140) and L.A. has averaged just 1.0 run per in those games.
Furthermore, San Francisco is 15-4 SU this year at home vs. left-handed starters with a plus-31.4% return on investment and an average final margin of 5.42-3.89.
The Giants are deadly vs. left-handed pitching and are scoring 5.32 runs per 9 against lefties. Also, San Francisco’s lineup ranks 6th in wRC+ (115), 8th in wOBA (.330) and 4th in ISO (.188), according to FanGraphs.
BET the GIANTS (+115).

Run line/Against the spread
LEAN to the GIANTS +1.5 (-150) because they are 6-0 RL as home underdogs and 15-10 RL in Webb’s home starts since the beginning of 2021.
But, it’s only a LEAN to the GIANTS +1.5 (-150) because this RL is pricey considering the Dodgers -1.5 (+122) are 29-20 RL as road favorites and all 6 of their wins vs. the Giants this season have been by at least 2 runs.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 7.5 (-125).
The average final outcome of Webb’s home starts since the beginning of last season is 6.00-3.16 and the Over 7.5 (-125) appears to be the sharper side of the total because of the price. Also, both lineups are productive vs. the Monday opposing starters’ pitch handedness.
However, the Dodgers are 17-28-4 O/U as road favorites and 12-25-3 O/U vs. NL West teams and San Francisco’s ML is my favorite look in this game.
