Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

SF vs. LAD pick: Dodgers -125

I think this is set to be a really, really good Game 1 in Los Angeles.

Blake Snell takes the mound for the Giants Monday, and though he’s struggled some to start with his new team, he’s been like his old self since returning from IL in early July. As we’ll get into a little bit later, Snell has excellent numbers against the Dodgers lineup throughout his career and is riding high on confidence from his last 2 outings.

Because of this, I don’t think Los Angeles walks away with this one. But the Dodgers are still the better hitting team and have the luxury of batting last, so I’ll take them in a close matchup. Dodgers moneyline at -125 is a better odds play than Giants +1.5 at -195, too.

Giants vs. Dodgers Best Value Player Props (July 22)

All odds above via DraftKings Sportsbook. 

Snell’s numbers against this Dodgers lineup are unreal. He has 58 strikeouts in 144 at-bats against the Dodgers all-time, and even though he hasn’t faced this lineup this season he’s been strong lately. Snell has allowed 2 hits and 0 earned runs across his last 12 innings of work since returning from IL (Minnesota + Toronto).

This line is a perfect pair with the above pick for Snell, who has lasted 5 innings in 2 straight games since returning from injury. He’s throwing with confidence right now.

Ohtani has only faced Snell twice, but he’s batting .500 with a double and an RBI with no strikeouts. Oh, and he’s Shohei Ohtani needing just 1 hit, something he’s done in 11 of his last 12 games. The odds aren’t the most exciting, I know, but it’s a strong leg to a parlay.
