Dodgers vs. Giants Prediction
The San Francisco Giants will attempt to take three of four from the hated Los Angeles Dodgers when the rivals meet once more today at 4:05PM ET.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Giants are -135 money line favorites versus the Dodgers, who are +115 money line underdogs to pull off the small upset today at AT&T Park. The total, meanwhile, is sitting at 7 runs.
Bet Tonight’s Dodgers vs. Giants Game
Scott Kazmir will make his second start of the season for the Dodgers after he was highly effective in a 75-pitch outing against the Padres in his season-opener. He only allowed one hit in the first inning but was dominant over six innings. In fact, the only hit he allowed was of the infield variety.

Johnny Cueto will start for the Giants after he needed less than 100 pitches to go seven innings in his San Francisco debut in Milwaukee. He struggled early, giving up a run and four of his six hits in the first three innings but eventually settled down. He struck out four, but did not walk any batters as his movement was outstanding (even if his velocity was down).
I like only laying -135 on Cueto’s debut in front of his new home crowd.Despite Kazmir’s outstanding debut, he finished Cactus League play with a 5.51 ERA, displayed diminished velocity and dealt with dehydration in his final Arizona start. San Francisco’s lineup is significantly more challenging than San Diego’s (although the Padres’ bats have come alive in Denver after losing three straight versus L.A. to start the season) and Kazmir will have to throw more than 75 pitches to get out today with a win.
