Predictions and Betting Preview for the Dodgers vs Giants MLB Regular Season Game on April 11, 2023
- Where: Truist Park, Atlanta, Georgia
- When: Tuesday, April 11, 2023, 9:45 PM ET
Betting on the Los Angeles Dodgers
- Regular Season Record: 6-5
The Dodgers got back to winning ways this Monday after being caught off guard by the Diamondbacks over the weekend, losing three out of four games in Arizona.
Once again, the LA team’s offense made an impact, this time thanks to Max Muncy, who, despite a slow start to the season, hit two homers against the Giants’ pitching, including a grand slam that earned him seven RBIs.
The Los Angeles team comes into this game as one of the best in the league, ranking second in runs scored (60), home runs (18), and OPS (.867), all behind the Tampa Bay Rays.
Similarly, the Dodgers’ pitching had a peaceful night after the D-Backs scored 23 runs in the last two games of the series. Mexican pitcher Julio Urías calmed the waters, securing his third win of the season by tossing six innings, allowing only one run and striking out eight batters.
On Tuesday, right-hander Dustin May will take the mound for the Dodgers. He has had a good start to the season and could help bring down the team’s collective ERA of 4.55. May has only given up one run in 13.0 innings of work this season. Plus, he’s got a lifetime record of 2-0 against San Francisco and an impressive 0.79 ERA in 11.1 innings pitched.
Possible Starting Pitcher: Dustin May (1-0, 0.69 ERA)
Betting on the San Francisco Giants
- Regular Season Record: 4-6
The Giants have had a pretty rocky start to the season, and that was evident on Monday night when they got crushed at home by the Dodgers.
One of the reasons for their struggles is that their main arm, Logan Webb, has been getting hammered. In fact, after giving up four runs to the Dodgers in six innings, he not only suffered his third loss of the year but also saw his ERA shoot up to 6.55.
The Giants team is built to heavily rely on their pitching, but they haven’t delivered yet, with a collective ERA of 4.15.
On the offensive side, things are a bit more complicated. For the fourth time this season, the Giants score one run or less. They have only scored more than five runs in four of their ten games and are the team that has received the most strikeouts this season with 102.
For the second game of the series, manager Gabe Kapler will send left-hander Alex Wood to the mound. In his first start of the season against the White Sox, he could only work 3.0 innings despite conceding only one run. In that outing, he gave up six hits and two walks, while the Dodgers have punished him by hitting 12 home runs in 55.1 innings for an ERA of 4.09 and a record of 2-4.
Possible Starting Pitcher: Alex Wood (0-0, 3.00 ERA)
JefeBet Prediction
There’s really not much to analyze here. The Dodgers should comfortably win again tonight in San Francisco, as the pitching matchup heavily favors them.
Dustin May has not only been untouchable this season, but the Giants have had nightmares facing him in the past. And San Francisco’s offense isn’t exactly firing on all cylinders right now.
On the other hand, the Dodgers haven’t stopped hitting, and they’ll face Alex Wood in this Dodgers vs Giants game tonight, who has been roughed up by the Californians in his career. He also didn’t have his best outing against the White Sox, and had a 4.66 ERA at home last season.
Plus, the Dodgers have won the last seven games in this series at the Giants’ home field and have a 20-7 record in their last 27 matchups.
