The Los Angeles Dodgers (5-5) and San Francisco Giants (4-5) begin a 3-game set Monday at Oracle Park. First pitch is at 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: First meeting of the 2023 season. The Dodgers won 15-4 last season.
The Dodgers were roughed up in the desert as they dropped the final 3 contests of a 4-game set to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona outscored them 29-17 in those 3 games. 1B Freddie Freeman hasn’t been the problem as he’s hitting a robust .421 (16-for-38), but he has just 1 HR and 2 RBIs.
The Giants avoided a sweep in a 3-game series against the Kansas City Royals Sunday with a 3-1 win. San Francisco has been mired by inconsistency early on. It was the 1st time the Giants won after scoring 3 or fewer runs, which they have done in 5 of their 9 games.
