Game Snapshot

• Matchup: Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants
• Date & Time: July 12, 2025 at 4:05 PM ET
• Starting Pitchers: Shohei Ohtani vs Landen Roupp
• Stadium: Oracle Park
• Broadcast: NBC Sports Bay Area and SportsNet LA

Key Storylines

• Shohei Ohtani is on the mound for the Dodgers in this game. He has seen very limited pitching action this year. Ohtani has pitched just six total innings and is yet to register a decision. His 1.50 ERA looks promising.
• The Giants have Landon Roupp on the mound for this game. Roupp owns a 6-5 record with a 3.39 ERA despite giving up over a hit per inning on the year.
• Both bullpens will be worth keeping an eye on going into this game. These teams played an 11-inning game on Friday night. They aren’t likely to have as many arms available as they are used to.
• Recent team streaks: The Dodgers have lost seven consecutive games going into this matchup. The Giants have captured wins in four of their past five games.

• Win Probability Dodgers 49% Giants 51%

Final Thoughts

The Dodgers will be a popular bet today with Shohei Ohtani back on the mound. But Ohtani isn’t likely to pitch very deep into this or any game as the Dodgers ease him back into pitching. Ohtani’s presence on the mound should mean another long day for the Dodgers’ bullpen in this contest. I expect the Giants to take advantage of that and deliver a second home win in a row in this series. That would move San Francisco to within just three games in the NL West race.
