Giants at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Kyle Harrison vs. RHP Tyler Glasnow

Harrison (1-0, 3.00 ERA) is tabbed for his 2nd start this season. He allowed 2 ER on 6 H and 0 BB with 5 K in 6 IP in his debut at the San Diego Padres Friday.

Posted a 4.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP in a 7-start 2023 rookie season
Career vs. Dodgers: 0-0, 1.74 ERA (10 1/3 IP, 2 ER), 3 H, 3 BB, 6 K in 2 starts

Glasnow (1-0, 2.45 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 0.82 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 in 11 innings.

Owns a 3.86 ERA, 1.20 WHIP across 129 career games; logged a 3.53 ERA for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2023
Makes this start on 5-day rest, which figures as his preferred interval (.623 OPS allowed)
Last outing: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 7-1 win vs. St. Louis Cardinals

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Giants 2

Moneyline

Lots of juice clouding profit potential here. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Harrison was aided by a .236 batting average on balls in play last season. Glasnow’s early-season stuff has often been dominant over his career (.584 OPS allowed).

Peg a moderate lean on the DODGERS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Over is 4-0-1 across L.A.’s last 4 games and is undefeated across the Giants’ 6 games this season.

But there is some lean toward a pushback in Wednesday’s series finale. Most of that comes from the L.A. side of the equation, with Glasnow being a pick to click and on the Dodgers’ offensive numbers being a bit overcooked by a .358 batting average on balls in play (.379 BABIP with runners in scoring position) and a 17.1% of fly balls landing as home runs.

The back ends of both bullpens figure as mostly available.

Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 8.5 (-115).

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

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (2-3) and Los Angeles Dodgers (5-2) continue a 3-game NL West series Tuesday night. First pitch at Dodger Stadium is slated for 10:10 p.m. ET (TBS). 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: Dodgers lead 1-0

San Francisco went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position in dropping Monday’s series opener 8-3. The Giants are 1 for their last 14 in such situations.

The Dodgers are thus far 5-1 at Dodger Stadium (they also had 1 home game in Seoul, South Korea). Los Angeles pitching has been sharp at home, logging a 2.54 ERA and 0.98 WHIP.

Giants at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. Undecided

Webb (0-0, 3.00 ERA) makes his 2nd start of the season. He has a 1.17 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 through 6 IP.

Owns a 3.07 ERA over the last 3 seasons
Last outing: Loss, 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 6-4 loss at San Diego Padres
Career vs. Dodgers: 3-5, 3.96 ERA (63 2/3 IP, 28 ER), 63 H, 18 BB, 51 K
Per ESPN, current Dodger bats own an aggregate .895 OPS against him

The Dodgers are expected to go with bullpen options to make their way through Tuesday’s game.

RHP Michael Grove and LHP Ryan Yarbrough figure as likely sources of bulk innings

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

San Francisco is a respectable 4-4 over its last 8 games at Dodger Stadium. The Giants were a solid preseason futures play and figure to be a tad undervalued here.

But bullpen games, especially early-season ones, draw a caution flag in this corner. Consider a pass and going with just the stronger Over bet or going in small — like half of a half of a unit small — on the visiting GIANTS +120.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: Better relative value can be found elsewhere.

Over/Under

The Over hit Monday and is 3-0-1 across the Dodgers’ last 4 games and is undefeated across the Giants’ 5 games this season.

Los Angeles has had few problems against Webb in the past. The San Francisco right-hander is durable and can usually get fairly deep into games, but this is start No. 2 and he did register 97 pitches in his debut effort. What’s behind him are the Over-worthy numbers thus far posted by the Giants bullpen. Through 16 innings, San Francisco relievers own a 10.12 ERA.

On what is expected to be a breeze-blowing-out night at Chavez Ravine, BACK THE OVER 8.5 (+100).

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

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (2-2) and Los Angeles Dodgers (4-2) open a 3-game NL West rivalry set Monday night. First pitch at Dodger Stadium is slated for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). 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: First meeting; Los Angeles won last year’s series 7-6

San Francisco took 2 of 4 games in a season-opening series at the San Diego Padres. Giants pitching was touched up for a 6.35 ERA in the 4 games.

The Dodgers remain at home after taking 3 of 4 games against the St. Louis Cardinals. L.A. pitching filed a 2.68 ERA and 10.8 strikeouts per 9 IP in the quartet of games in Chavez Ravine.

Giants at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Keaton Winn vs. LHP James Paxton

Winn makes his season debut. In his rookie 2023 campaign, he went 1-3 with a 4.68 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 in 42 1.3 IP.

Did not make his Cactus League debut until March 17 after experiencing elbow soreness in late-February.
Will likely be on a relatively limited pitch count (threw 42 pitches in his 2nd of just 2 spring-training outings)
Career vs. Dodgers: 0-1, 10.13 ERA (5 1/3 IP, 6 ER), 6 H, 0 BB, 5 K in 1 start

Paxton is making his season debut. Pitching 19 games for the Boston Red Sox in 2023, the veteran lefty went 7-5 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 in 96 IP.

Limited to just 6 starts from 2020-22 due to injuries and was shut down with a knee injury in early September last season
Struggled after the All-Star break, notching a 6.98 ERA
Career vs. Giants: 1-0, 3.38 ERA (10 2/3 IP, 4 ER), 13 H, 4 BB, 13 K in 2 starts

Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: +100 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Giants 4

Moneyline

PASS: The run line in this one offers up drier (less juice) tags.

Run line/Against the spread

San Francisco’s 2 losses have been by multiple runs; 3 of the Dodgers’ 4 wins have been by multi-run margins.

Los Angeles has taken 4 of the last 5 meetings against their Northern California rivals. Three of those wins were by 3 runs or more. Over 2022-23, the Dodgers played .679 (110-52) baseball in Chavez Ravine, and regardless of the many home parks he has toiled in, Paxton has usually been a much better pitcher in home environs.

Winn faced the Dodgers once last season (Sept. 29) and was rocked, allowing 6 runs (3 home runs) in 5 1/3 IP.

FanDuel Sportsbook has a better value on the Dodgers RL play. Back the DODGERS -1.5 (-102).

Over/Under

The San Francisco offense figures to be solid in 2024, and the Dodgers are loaded up and down the lineup.

Both starters have question marks. With the season getting underway in earnest Thursday, both bullpens are 4 days more tangled than they were in the freshness of Opening Day air.

The Los Angeles weather report is calling for a double-digit wind blowing out, and that could mean an extra run or more on the odd potential wall-scraper or would-be long fly landing for extra bases.

FanDuel’s price here makes for extra leverage. TAKE THE OVER 8.5 (-110).

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

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (77-78) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (95-59) conclude a 4-game series on Sunday Night Baseball at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET (ESPN). 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 5-4

The Giants are mathematically alive for a NL Wild Card spot, but San Francisco is running on fumes. It finds itself 4 games behind the Chicago Cubs for the final spot with just 7 regular-season games remaining. Analytics show the playoff chances for the Giants sitting at 0.4% heading into the new week.

The Dodgers have already wrapped up the NL West Division, entering play 14 games clear of the 2nd-place Arizona Diamondbacks. Los Angeles also has a plus-197 run differential, which is 2nd in the NL. The Dodgers have alternated wins and losses in the past 5 outings, while going 7-2 in the past 9 games overall.

Giants at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Ryan Walker vs. RHP Lance Lynn

Walker (4-3, 3.20 ERA) makes his 13th start and 46th overall appearance. He has a 1.42 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 11.3 K/9 in 56 1/3 innings.

Last start: No-decision, 1 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 11-8 road loss vs. the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 5
2023 road splits: 2-1, 4.44 ERA (24 1/3 IP, 12 ER), 4 HR, .263 OBA in 3 starts and 19 relief appearances

Lynn (12-11, 5.92 ERA) makes his 31st start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 in 171 2/3 innings with the White Sox and Dodgers.

Last start: Win, 5 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 8-3 home win vs. the Detroit Tigers last Monday
2023 home splits: 6-5, 5.57 ERA (85 2/3 IP, 53 ER), 17 HR, .276 OBA in 15 starts

Over/Under (O/U): 10 (O: -105 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Giants 4

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-200) are a little too pricey. While Lynn has been red-hot since joining Los Angeles at the MLB trade deadline, equaling his win total in 9 starts with the Dodgers (6 wins) that he had in 21 starts with the White Sox, the veteran is still allowing plenty of hits and homers. Games which Lynn starts is quite risky.

AVOID, and consider the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (-110) are a better play on the run line. While Los Angeles has already wrapped up the division title, it still wouldn’t mind putting another nail in the playoff coffin of its biggest rival.

The Giants +1.5 (-110) are a risky play with Walker on the hill, too. He is an opener, who will not go deep into games. That means the bullpen will be used sooner rather than later, and San Francisco’s ‘pen is rather middling.

The Dodgers are 7-2 in Lynn’s 9 starts since coming over from the White Sox, and L.A. has won 6 of those games by 2 or more runs, too.

Over/Under

The OVER 10 (-105) might be the best play on the board.

While Lynn has been getting plenty of wins in Dodger Blue, he has been very giving, too. His ERA is slightly better than his time with the ChiSox, but his wins are up because of much better offensive support. In fact, the Over is 5-0 in Lynn’s past 5 outings for L.A.

On the flip side, the Giants have allowed 6 or more runs in 5 of the past 6 games, with the Over 3-2-1 during the stretch. Look for another Over result.

Giants at Dodgers projected starters

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 8, Giants 3

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-165) should win for the 7th time in 8 games, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when Los Angeles should win by multiple runs.

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

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers are 39-33 on the run line this season as home favorites, according to TeamRankings.com. Nineteen of Los Angeles’ last 20 wins have been by multiple runs and the Giants’ last 5 losses have also been by 2 or more runs.

Manaea has struggled vs. the Dodgers in the past, and this game may get out of hand early if Los Angeles’ offense picks up where it left off in the series opener.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under

The Over is 87-57-8 (60.4%) this season in Dodgers games.

Manaea has a career ERA of 9.00 vs. Los Angeles and should struggle to contain this Dodgers offense that is coming off a 7-run outing.

BET OVER 9 (-105).

The San Francisco Giants (76-76) and Los Angeles Dodgers (93-58) open a 4-game set Thursday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). 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 4-2

The Giants lost 7-1 as -112 favorites at the Arizona Diamondbacks as the total (8) pushed Wednesday. San Francisco has lost 5 of 6 and is 3 games back of the Chicago Cubs for the final NL Wild Card.

Giants at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Kyle Harrison vs. RHP Emmet Sheehan

Harrison (1-1, 5.18 ERA) makes his 6th start. The rookie has a 1.40 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 10.7 K/9 in 24 1/3 innings.

Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 5 R (3 ER), 7 H, 1 BB, 3 K in 6-5 home victory in 10 innings vs. Cleveland Guardians on Sept. 13

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Giants 3

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-185) should bounce back after losing vs. the Tigers, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when Los Angeles should win by multiple runs.

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

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers are an MLB-best 36-21 on the run line this season after a loss, according to TeamRankings.com. Los Angeles is also 25-16 on the run line vs. divisional opponents, and Sheehan was dominant vs. the Giants in his MLB debut.

Harrison — in just his 6th career start — will face a motivated Dodgers lineup coming off a loss as massive favorites. Look for Los Angeles to score a lot of runs early and bounce back from its poor showing last time out.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

The Over is 35-18-4 (66.0%) this season when the Dodgers are coming off a loss. San Francisco’s rookie starter is in a tough spot, facing a Los Angeles offense that is 2nd in MLB in runs per game at 5.64. I expect the Dodgers to do most of the heavy lifting in this one to help the Over hit Thursday.

BET OVER 9 (+100).

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

LEAN GIANTS (+140).

The Giants are the much hotter team and are a very solid road team, but the Dodgers have been dominant at home this season and do have the edge in recent matchups. The Dodgers are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings and coupled with their home record, it does make it hard for the Giants to take 2 in a row in Dodger Stadium. Bet very lightly here and if you believe in LA, then you can place a small wager on it for this bet.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS +1.5 (-140).

The Giants should be able to make this a close game whether you believe they can continue their hot streak or not. This bet is fairly risky but with game 1 going into extras and the hot streak the Giants are on, I believe in them here. The O/U is still your safest play, however.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-115).

For San Francisco, the Over is 3-0 in its last 3 overall. For Los Angeles, the Over is 3-0-1 in its last 4 Saturday games and 6-0-1 in its last 7 during game 2 of a series. The Over is also 6-3-1 in the last 10 head-to-head matchups.

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Dodgers 5

Moneyline

BET GIANTS (+120).

San Francisco has won 6 straight road games and is 4-1 in its last 5 after allowing 5 or more runs. The Dodgers have been inconsistent lately and have not won back-to-back games since May 29-30 vs. the Washington Nationals, the team with the 2nd-worst record in the NL.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

San Francisco +1.5 (-165) should hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the Giants should win straight up. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (+100).

The Over is 5-2-1 in Los Angeles’ last 8 home games and 5-1-1 in its last 7 after a win. These teams tend to play high-scoring games vs. each other in Los Angeles, with the Over going 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings. Friday’s matchup should be another offensive showcase with the Dodgers starting a rookie and the Giants having a bullpen day.

Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Dodgers 4

Money line

The Giants have had some solid games of late and are at their best against left-handed pitchers (.752 OPS).

Cobb has been sharp over recent starts, and with Kershaw making his 2nd start off the IL, there is some value here on SAN FRANCISCO (+205).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Dodgers do not get roped into a lot of 1-run games — just 24 so far. The best play here is the Money Line.

Over/Under

BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-108) in a warm day game with an outward breeze in the forecast.
