Giants at Dodgers picks and predictionsPrediction

Dodgers 6, Giants 2

The Dodgers (-235) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for a singular wager. If you were to toss LA into a parlay of at least 3 or 4 legs, it would be OK to fold the Dodgers in then.

PASS.

The DODGERS -1.5 (-110) are a better play at near even money.

LA has won 3 in a row by an average of 3.0 runs per game, covering the run line in 2 of the past 3 outings. The Dodgers have outscored San Francisco 31-13 in the 4-game win streak in the series and have covered the run line in 3 of those 4 outings.

UNDER 8.5 (-102) is the lean, but don’t get carried away.

The Under is 2-0-1 in the past 3 games for the Dodgers and 7-1-3 in the past 11 appearances by Glasnow.

For the Giants, the Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 games, and the total has gone low in 4 straight outings by Teng.
