In this article, we will formulate a Dodgers vs Giants prediction for this MLB game on Sunday, July 13, at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers (57-39, 24-22 Away) went through their worst period of the season, during which they were swept by the Astros and Brewers. Following a loss to the Giants in Game 1 of the current series, the Dodgers were on a seven-game losing skid, but finally snapped that negative run with a 2-1 victory on Saturday. Shohei Ohtani pitched for 3.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing no runs on three hits with four strikeouts and one walk. Emmet Sheehan was credited with the win.

This season, the Dodgers average 5.36 runs per game (2nd in the MLB) on a .257/.333/.447 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Dodgers’ staff has a 4.32 ERA (23rd) and 1.32 WHIP (21st). Shohei Ohtani leads the Dodgers with a .275 batting average, 32 home runs, and 60 RBI this season.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto will take the mound for the Dodgers on Sunday. The 26-year-old right-hander has an 8-7 record in 18 starts this year with a 2.77 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 97.1 innings.

San Francisco Giants Betting Preview

The San Francisco Giants (52-44, 28-19 Home) recorded back-to-back wins against the Athletics and Philadelphia Phillies and opened the current series against the Dodgers with a win, but they fell short in Game 2, losing 2-1. Rafael Devers drove in the lone run for the offense, while Landen Roupp took the loss after allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits with eight strikeouts and one walk in 6.0 innings.

This year, the Giants average 4.13 runs per game (22nd in the MLB) on a .231/.311/.371 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Giants’ staff has a 3.49 ERA (4th) and 1.25 WHIP (13th). Wilmer Flores leads the Giants with a .248 batting average, 11 home runs, and 55 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Giants is Robbie Ray, who is 9-3 in 19 starts this season, with a 2.63 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 113.0 innings.

Dodgers vs Giants Prediction

The Dodgers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of five meetings this season. Both duels of the current series were decided by a run, and I expect a similar scenario on Sunday. Also, I think we will have a low-scoring affair, considering the pitching matchup. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be desperate to bounce back from his latest start against Milwaukee, when he lasted for just 0.2 innings. Robbie Ray, on the other hand, surrendered more than three runs just once this season, and I am backing him to get another quality start here. Go with Under.
