Giants vs Dodgers: Game 1 prediction, odds, injuries, and picks - June 13, 2025
The top two teams in the NL West face off on Friday, as the San Francisco Giants take on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first of three games set to take place at Dodger Stadium over the weekend.
At the moment, Los Angeles is No. 1 in the NL West standings with a 41-28 record, while the Giants are currently No. 2 with a 40-29 record.
Let's take a look at the odds for the fixture, and how the action might play out on the field.
Giants vs Dodgers prediction
Taking the mound for the Giants is Logan Webb, who has enjoyed a great season so far, boasting a 5-5 record, along with a 2.58 ERA and 101 total strikeouts.
Offensively, Jung Hoo Lee, Heliot Ramos, Wilmer Flores and Mike Yastrzemski lead the way for the Giants.
For the hosts, ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the nod. As good as his counterpart has been, Yamamoto has been arguably even better, boasting a 6-4 record, along with a 2.20 ERA and 86 total strikeouts for the campaign so far.
With the bat, the hosts' superstar trio of Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, needs no introduction, and number four hitter Will Smith has also been extremely reliable in getting on base and hitting with runners in scoring positions.
With both pitchers in fantastic touch coming into this game, the hosts' star-studded offense should help them find a way to emerge with a hard-fought win.
