Los Angeles is listed as the -140 favorite (risk $140 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Dodgers vs. Giants odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under for total runs scored is eight (see up-to-date'odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page).
Before making any Dodgers vs. Giants picks, you NEED to check out the MLB pre dictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it enters Week 18 on a 20-14 roll on top-rated'MLB picks, returning almost $400 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.
The model knows Los Angeles infielder Gavin Lux is a smooth athlete who owns a line-drive swing. Lux's bat speed is electric due to his fast hands and quick hips, allowing him to spray the ball into all gaps. The 24-year-old has been a reliable defender with a strong throwing arm. Lux is hitting .295 with four home runs and 30 RBIs. On July 28, he was 3-for-5 with a double and one run scored.
