Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 07/12/25

Shohei Ohtani will take the mound Saturday afternoon as the Dodgers look to rebound from last night’s loss to the Giants and snap their seven-game losing streak. Ohtani continues to be on a limited pitch count, but he’s been effective so far this season – allowing just one earned run over six innings across six starts. While it’s possible he makes it into the third inning today, the Giants are still going to have plenty of opportunities to take advantage of this Dodgers bullpen that has struggled all season, posting a 4.42 ERA.

Taking the mound for the Giants is Landen Roupp, who enters this matchup with a 6-5 record and a 3.39 ERA. This Giants team isn’t known for piling on runs, averaging just 3.7 runs per game over their last 14 – nearly identical to the Dodgers, who are averaging 3.8 runs per game over their last 13. The real strength for the Giants lies in their pitching, and that shows as they lead the league with a 3.16 bullpen ERA. The Dodgers are hoping to snap their losing streak and prevent the Giants from gaining more ground in the NL West – but I don’t see that happening today. Roupp has been terrific on the mound for the Giants, and with Ohtani’s time on the mound being limited, the Dodgers will have to lean on their shaky bullpen. Look for San Francisco to take advantage of a weak Dodgers bullpen and move another game higher in the NL West standings, making them my best bet of the day.
