Earlier today, I shared in SI Betting\u2019s best home run props \u2013 Daily Dinger<\/a> \u2013 why Freeman is undervalued against Houser:\u00a0<\/p>\n Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman has a favorable matchup on Tuesday night, as the San Francisco Giants are set to start the struggling Adrian Houser.<\/p>\n This season, Houser has given up seven home runs in seven appearances, posting a 6.19 ERA. The Giants are just 1-6 when the righty is on the mound in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n Freeman is 4-for-12 with two doubles, one home run and a 1.179 OPS against Houser in his career, and I think he\u2019s a little undervalued at this price on May 12.<\/p>\n The Dodgers first baseman has a .292 batting average and an .806 OPS against righties this season, and he\u2019s upped his OPS to .898 \u2013 homering once \u2013 over the last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are a ton of options to take in a vaunted Dodgers lineup, but Freeman\u2019s success against Houser in his career makes him an attractive option at nearly 5\/1.\u00a0<\/p>\n Giants vs. Dodgers Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n San Francisco has won just one of the seven games that Houser has appeared in this season, and the veteran right-hander has allowed three or more runs in five of his seven outings.<\/p>\n On top of that, Houser ranks in the 15th percentile in expected ERA and the ninth percentile in expected batting average against. So, he\u2019s not due for some positive regression, and I certainly don\u2019t see that coming against a Dodgers offense that is second in OPS, second in batting average and fifth in runs scored in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n Yamamoto\u2019s advanced numbers aren\u2019t awesome, but the right-hander has just one start all season where he\u2019s allowed more than three earned runs, and the Dodgers are 5-2 when he\u2019s on the mound.<\/p>\n Even though the Giants have spent a lot of time as underdogs this season, they are 18-23 on the run line, while the Dodgers are 19-22.\u00a0<\/p>\n I don\u2019t mind taking Los Angeles to win this game, as it\u2019s impossible to build a case for betting on Houser.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pick: Dodgers -1.5 (-143 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Find Peter Dewey’s\u00a0NBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
