Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/13/25, 6:40 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 6/26/25 at 8:28 AM in MLB Picks

The San Francisco Giants will attempt to get back to the winner’s circle on Friday, as they kick off a new series with their archrival, the Los Angeles Dodgers, at Dodger Stadium.

The Giants’ winning streak at seven games on Thursday after yielding a 7-8 loss to the Colorado Rockies in the series finale. The Giants, who are scoring 6.2 runs per game over their last five assignments, continued to wreak havoc on the offensive end behind excellent hitting from Dominic Smith and Heliot Ramos, who connived for 5 of the Giants’ 7 runs in the match. However, the Giants bullpen conceded 5 more allowed runs in the last three innings after starter Hayden Birdsong surrendered 3 earned runs over six innings, causing them to blow a 7-3 lead.

The Dodgers have won 3 of their last 4 games, including 2 against another NL West rivals, the San Diego Padres, this week. Averaging 4.3 runs per game over their last five games, the Dodgers’ offensive machinery is still operating below expectations and the team would have lost more than 28 games without clutch hitting from several members of their batting corps.
