Before making any Giants vs. Dodgers picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is 280-240 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season, returning over $500 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 that the Giants will be confident even as the underdog with Carlos Rodon taking the ball. The 29-year-old made his second consecutive all-star team after posting an 8-5 record with a 2.66 ERA and 131 strikeouts over 105 innings. Rodon is 1-1 in two starts against the Dodgers with a sterling 1.50 ERA.
