The San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers will meet on Monday night in the opening game of a four‑game National League series at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

San Francisco Giants Betting Preview

The San Francisco Giants enter Monday’s contest with a 16–24 overall record (4th in the National League West) and a 6–12 mark on the road. The Giants offense has struggled all season. Through 40 games played in 2026, the San Francisco Giants have compiled a rather low 130 runs scored (30th in MLB), 70 doubles, a .242 team batting average and just 26 home runs which ranks an abysmal 30th in Major League Baseball.

The Giants arrive at tomorrow’s game in below average form. San Francisco has lost nine of the team’s last 12 games played this season, including a 10–5 loss to the San Diego Padres earlier this week.

San Francisco will turn to right hander Trevor McDonald in this contest. In one start made this season, McDonald has compiled a 1–0 win‑loss record, a 1.29 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP and 8 strikeouts, while allowing 2 hits and no walks in 7 innings pitched. McDonald will look to build on his recent quality performance in tomorrow’s matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Shifting our focus to the San Francisco offense, the Giants lineup features second baseman Luis Arraez and first baseman Casey Schmitt. Luis Arraez has tallied a .310 batting average, 14 RBIs, 4 stolen bases and a .728 OPS. Casey Schmitt has compiled a .285 batting average, 6 home runs, 18 RBIs, and an .843 OPS. 

Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers enter Monday evening’s game with a 24–16 overall record (2nd in the National League West) and a 13–8 mark at home. The Dodgers have played subpar baseball recently, losing two consecutive games, including a 7–2 loss to the Atlanta Braves two days ago.

Los Angeles will start right hander Roki Sasaki tomorrow. In six starts made this season, Sasaki has compiled a 1-3 record, a 5.97 ERA, a 1.67 WHIP and 26 strikeouts, while allowing 33 hits and 15 walks in 28.2 innings pitched.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have compiled a powerful lineup featuring outfielder Andy Pages and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani. Pages enters this contest with a .333 batting average (4th in MLB), 9 home runs, 35 RBIs, and a .946 OPS (9th in MLB). Shohei Ohtani has tallied a .241 batting average, 6 home runs, 5 stolen bases, 16 RBIs, and a .792 OPS.

Why the San Francisco Giants will win.

• Offensive balance. Luis Arraez and Casey Schmitt continue to anchor the Giants lineup.

• Enhanced motivation. The San Francisco Giants have lost 9 of the team’s last 12 games played this season.

Why the Los Angeles Dodgers will win.

• Home field advantage. The Dodgers have amassed a 13–8 record at Dodger Stadium this season.

• Offensive production. Andy Pages and Shohei Ohtani provide a strong core to the Dodgers lineup.

San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

In my view, this matchup favors the Los Angeles Dodgers. Why? The San Francisco Giants have lost nine of the team’s last twelve games played this season. Additionally, San Francisco’s offense has been dreadful in 2026, ranking last in Major League Baseball in total runs scored (130). Conversely, the Los Angeles Dodgers offense has been outstanding, ranking third in total team home runs (53) and a .265 team batting average which ranks second in Major League Baseball. With that said, the Dodgers are the clear side to be on in this contest. I am backing the Los Angeles Dodgers on the moneyline in this game.
