The Los Angeles Dodgers (51-32) visit Oracle Park to take on the San Francisco Giants (40-44) on Saturday, June 29, 2024. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15pm ET in San Francisco, with the game televised on FOX.

Here is our Dodgers vs Giants prediction for Saturday, along with MLB player props to wager on.

Dodgers vs Giants Prediction

The Giants grabbed a motivating 5-3 walk-off victory over the Dodgers in the series opener on Friday night thanks to a Brett Wisely home run in the 9th inning. However, the Dodgers have to feel good about their chances to even the series on Saturday with ace Tyler Glasnow on the mound.

Glasnow has been utterly dominant this season, leading the majors with 135 strikeouts across 100 innings pitched. He’s allowed a minuscule .162 batting average to right-handed hitters and has been notably untouchable lately, notching eight or more strikeouts in 10 of his last 11 starts, averaging 9.2 K’s per game in that span.

The Giants lineup, which ranks just 18th in wRC+ and 22nd in wOBA vs righties over the past ten days, will have its work cut out.

Making matters worse for San Francisco is that they’ll be relying on a bullpen game with Erik Miller slated to serve as the opener. While the Giants relievers have pitched well of late, it’s a tall order to contain the powerful Dodgers lineup over nine innings, even with Mookie Betts sidelined.

Los Angeles still has plenty of firepower with the likes of Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, J.D. Martinez and others.

The Dodgers offense has gotten solid production from role players like Jason Heyward and David Peralta to help offset the Betts injury. And they still boast the 2nd best bullpen ERA in MLB if Glasnow’s start gets cut short for any reason.

All signs point to the Dodgers bouncing back from Friday’s tough loss to even the series behind their ace. Back Dave Roberts’ team to win by two on the run line, with DraftKings offering the best odds at -110.

Dodgers vs Giants Odds

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
LA Dodgers	-1.5 (-110)	-210	Over 7 (-122)
SF Giants	+1.5 (-110)	+175	Under 7 (+102)

As the MLB odds indicate, the Dodgers are well-deserved favorites in this matchup. At -210 on the moneyline, the implied odds give Los Angeles about a 68% chance of winning the game. Conversely, the Giants +175 moneyline price implies just a 36% win probability.

There are several factors influencing these odds, with Glasnow’s presence atop the list. The right-hander has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball, making the Dodgers a heavy favorite whenever he takes the ball. The Giants going with a bullpen game only increases LA’s edge on paper.

The Dodgers have also owned this rivalry of late, winning seven of the last 10 meetings despite dropping two in a row. They’re an MLB-best 51-20 following a loss since the start of 2022 and 65-28 after a loss overall since the beginning of 2023.

While the Giants pulled off the upset on Friday, the odds are against them making it two straight over their division rivals.

The game’s 7-run total is on the lower side for a matchup at Oracle Park. But that’s largely a reflection of Glasnow’s presence combined with both bullpens ranking top-10 in ERA this season. The under has hit in four of the last six Glasnow starts. An offensive explosion from either side would be surprising.

Dodgers vs Giants Player Props

Here are a few player props to target for Saturday’s Dodgers-Giants clash:

Tyler Glasnow Over 7.5 Strikeouts (-105) – Glasnow is an elite strikeout artist facing a Giants lineup that fans at the 9th-highest rate vs RHP over the past 10 days. He’s topped this number in 10 of his last 11.

Freddie Freeman Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110) – Freeman has feasted on Giants pitching throughout his career and the bullpen game plays right into his patient approach. Look for the MVP candidate to reach base multiple times.

J.D. Martinez RBIs: Over 0.5 (-130) – Martinez has knocked in at least one run in 10 of his last 14 games and should get RBI chances hitting behind Freeman and Smith. The Giants pen is susceptible to power.

LaMonte Wade Jr. Hits: Under 0.5 (-165) – The lefty-swinging Wade could have a long night against Glasnow, against whom he’s just 1-for-7 lifetime. Fading Giants hitters is the move.

Dodgers vs Giants Injury Report

The Giants placed starting pitchers Alex Cobb (hip) and Robbie Ray (elbow) on the IL this week, necessitating the upcoming bullpen games. Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski was a late scratch from Friday’s lineup as his wife went into labor, but he’s expected back this weekend.

The Dodgers remain without perennial MVP candidate Mookie Betts, who hit the 10-day IL last week with a rib cage injury. His absence takes a big bat out of the lineup, though LA’s depth helps compensate. Relievers Blake Treinen (shoulder) and Daniel Hudson (knee) are also on the shelf, thinning the bullpen a bit.

The only other real injury concern in this one is Glasnow, who’s been healthy this year after missing most of the past two seasons. The Dodgers would love to get at least six innings from their ace to avoid using too many relievers. His health is paramount to their World Series odds.
