We make our Dodgers vs. Giants prediction for the rubber match of a three-game set between the Los Angeles Dodgers (57-39) and the San Francisco Giants (52-44). First pitch from Oracle Park in San Francisco is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (Roku). 

Our best sports betting sites have faith that Los Angeles will enter the All-Star break on its first winning streak in 11 games, as it is a -140 moneyline favorite.

However, Giants southpaw Robbie Ray could be the perfect foil to help San Francisco even the season series as we make our Dodgers vs. Giants best bets.

The Dodgers snapped a season-high seven-game losing streak with a narrow 2-1 victory yesterday. They have now played three consecutive one-run games. But if they do so today, I give the edge to the Giants, as their 22 wins in one-run games are the most in the majors.

To make our most accurate Dodgers vs. Giants prediction, one must ponder what kind of pitching performance Los Angeles is going to put forth.

The team pitched to a collective 7.01 ERA while getting outscored by 35 runs during its seven-game losing streak, and tonight’s starter, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, does not inspire much confidence.

In Yamamoto’s first seven starts, he pitched to a 0.90 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a .171 opponents’ batting average. But over the last 11 starts, he has a 4.08 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and has allowed a .217 OBA.

The Dodgers have been much more successful facing right-handed starting pitchers (43-26), as they are just one game over .500 (14-13) against southpaws.

That tips the scale in San Francisco’s favor as my Dodgers vs. Giants best bet with Ray on the mound, as does the fact that the Giants are one of five teams in the majors at least 14 games over .500 against right-handed starting pitchers (42-28).

Since allowing three earned runs in consecutive starts in mid-June, Ray has pitched to a 1.78 ERA over his last three, which includes two games against teams in the top half of the NL in runs scored.

That makes Ray’s Under 2.5 earned runs allowed our best Dodgers vs. Giants player prop, especially since he allowed two or fewer earned runs in seven of 10 home starts.

Ray has been especially tough on left-handed hitters all season, allowing a .172/.273/.276 slash line. That should help him neutralize two of L.A.’s best hitters, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.

Ohtani has only totaled seven hits in his last 13 games, and Ray has even done well against southpaw killer Will Smith in his career, limiting him to just two hits in 13 at-bats. 

Los Angeles has scored two or fewer runs in six of its last eight games, so we are getting great value on a line I would have played up to -150. DraftKings offers the best price (-125) of our best sports betting apps, and a winning $10 bet will yield an $8 profit.

What is the run line in baseball?
