The Dodgers Can Win If…
The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off a narrow 3-2 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers. Tyler Glasnow pitched well, allowing no earned runs over five innings. Miguel Rojas was a bright spot in the lineup, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
Despite recent setbacks, the Dodgers have strong season stats. They rank third in batting average at .257 and second in home runs with 142. Their on-base percentage is .332, showing their ability to get on base and create scoring chances.
Shohei Ohtani leads the Dodgers with 31 home runs and an impressive .279 batting average. Dustin May will be on the mound, looking to improve his 5-5 record. The Dodgers’ lineup is filled with talented hitters like Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, making them a tough team to beat.
The Giants Can Win If…
The San Francisco Giants are coming off a tough loss against the Philadelphia Phillies, falling 0-13. Despite the setback, Justin Verlander showed skill on the mound with seven strikeouts in six innings. Wilmer Flores was a bright spot, getting two hits in the game.
Logan Webb is set to start for the Giants, bringing a strong 2.62 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Webb has been reliable, with eight wins this season. His ability to limit home runs has been key, with the Giants ranking first in fewest home runs allowed this year.
Offensively, Rafael Devers leads the team with 17 home runs and 67 RBIs. The Giants have a solid lineup, with players like Heliot Ramos and Matt Chapman contributing. Their ability to draw walks, ranking fourth in the league, helps them get on base and create scoring chances.
The Lean
The Giants are favored on the moneyline at -127, while the Dodgers are at +108. The Giants have a strong pitching staff with a 3.51 ERA, ranked 4th in the league. The Dodgers’ batting average is higher, but the Giants’ pitching could make the difference. My model projects the Giants to win 4-3, so the pick is the Giants on the moneyline.
The total for the game is set at 7.5 runs, with the over at -109 and the under at -110. The Giants’ pitching and the Dodgers’ hitting suggest a low-scoring game. My model projects a total of 7 runs. Therefore, the recommendation is to take the under 7.5.

Slumping Dodgers Face Surging Giants in High-Stakes Rivalry Showdown
A storied rivalry is renewed this weekend with massive divisional implications on the line. The slumping, first-place Los Angeles Dodgers will look to snap their longest losing streak since 2019 as they open a three-game series in San Francisco against their hottest pursuer and bitter rival, the San Francisco Giants.
A Crisis for the Champions
The Dodgers are in the midst of their worst stretch of the season. The defending champions have lost six straight games, having been swept in back-to-back series by the Astros and Brewers. Their struggles have been on both sides of the ball, with poor pitching in one series and a lack of clutch hitting in the other.
“We can’t really feel sorry about ourselves, because there’s a lot of season left, and we know what we’re looking for,” said Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas. “We’re looking to win another championship, and playing this kind of baseball is not gonna get us there.”

Giants Gaining Steam
While the Dodgers are slumping, the Giants are gaining confidence. They have won four of their last five games and have closed the gap in the NL West to just five games. The team is starting to gel after their blockbuster acquisition of slugger Rafael Devers.
“I’m excited. I’m sure it’s going to be pretty rowdy,” said Giants ace Justin Verlander about the series. “I hope we can move on from (our last loss) and give the Dodgers a good run.”
A Duel of Aces
Friday night’s opener features a premier pitching matchup between two of the best right-handers in the division. The Dodgers will start Dustin May (5-5, 4.52 ERA), who is coming off a great start and has a fantastic 2.38 career ERA against the Giants.
San Francisco will counter with their own ace, Logan Webb (8-6, 2.62 ERA). Webb has six straight quality starts and also pitched well against the Dodgers in their last meeting. This elite duel will be the main event on the scores and odds board.
This series between two of the most popular MLB teams also features Shohei Ohtani making his first career start in San Francisco on Saturday.
