Dodgers vs Giants Betting Pick
This game will be played at Oracle Park at 4:05 PM ET on Sunday, June 12, 2022.
Why Bet The Dodgers:
✅ The current Giants have only 32 hits and a .443 OPS in 132 at-bats against Julio Urias, who’ll get the ball for the Dodgers on Sunday. Urias is 0-2 in his last three starts despite posting a solid 3.12 ERA in that span. The 25-year-old left-hander is 3-5 this season but carries a strong 2.78 ERA into Sunday’s date with the Jints.
✅ Carlos Rodon will get the nod for the Giants. The 29-year-old lefty leads the National League in FIP (2.64) and strikeouts per nine innings (11.4) but hasn’t impressed in the last few weeks. Rodon has recorded an awful 6.00 ERA and 4.72 FIP over his previous five starts and 24 innings of work (0-3 record). He lasted for just four innings this past Tuesday, allowing a couple of earned runs in a no-decision against the Colorado Rockies.

✅ The Giants’ bullpen has struggled for most of the season, tallying a 4.33 ERA in 226.2 innings of work. Over the last ten days, it has registered a 4.04 ERA, 4.23 FIP, and 6.31 K/9 through 35.2 frames.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers have dropped seven of their previous 11 games overall. After a couple of road victories over the Chicago White Sox, they couldn’t cope with the Giants in Friday’s opener. Walker Buehler and Justin Bruihl yielded three earned runs apiece, while the Dodgers’ lineup finished with just six hits and a couple of walks.
Los Angeles fell to 37-21 on the season. The Dodgers were still topping the NL West on Saturday, but the San Diego Padres were only one game behind them.
San Francisco Giants
The Giants’ shaky form went on following that 7-2 win to the Dodgers. It was San Francisco’s fourth victory in its previous nine outings at any location. The Jints improved to 31-26, occupying the third spot in the NL West.
In the last two weeks, San Francisco was batting only .224. Darin Ruf hit a couple of home runs against the Dodgers on Friday, while Joc Pederson went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs.
