Dodgers vs. Giants Odds, Bets, Picks & Predictions August 4: Look to Back SF, Big Time

Dodgers vs. Giants Best MLB Bets, Expert Picks for August 4

3:45pm ET

Alex here, the cofounder of OddsJam, and I have some sharp & profitable betting picks for you! I know you’re excited about getting some sharp bets for Wednesday, August 4. At least I am… 🙂

I’ll be giving out my top MLB bets in this baseball betting preview. I’ve honed in on the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants game on August 4. This game goes live at 3:45pm ET. Please no rain delays! Betting volume has been coming in on the LA Dodgers, with 72% of all bets coming in on them so far.

Clayton Kershaw is scheduled to take the mound for the LA Dodgers on Thursday, and Jakob Junis set for the Giants. Kershaw is 7-3 on the season with a 2.66 ERA. Jakob Junis is 4-2 with a 2.78 ERA.

The over/under (e.g. o/u) is currently set at 8 runs, and lines are juiced towards the under. The over 8 runs is currently set at -105 odds, and the under is set at -115. These odds and lines are from DraftKings, a popular sportsbook in the United States & Canada.

Of course, lines can change at any moment, so make sure to check the OddsJam MLB Odds Screen to get the best possible betting line in your location. This concept of odds & lines changing is called line movement.

I don’t have a play locked in on the total for the LA Dodgers vs SF Giants game on 8/4/2022. I’m holding off for now on the total. The run line is currently set at 1.5, which is typical for an MLB game. You’ll essentially never see an MLB team that is a 2.5 run favorite on the run line.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are favored in this game against the Giants on August 4. They’re heavy favorites, sitting at -250 moneyline odds on DraftKings sportsbook. The San Francisco Giants are the underdogs on 8/4. They are +210 moneyline odds on DraftKings sportsbook. Can the Giants win this game & get the upset W?

All odds given out in this baseball betting preview were from DraftKings sportsbook. Remember that’s just one of many online bookmakers! DraftKings typically posts odds for upcoming games before other sportsbooks, so I used their odds in this betting preview. Don’t forget that DraftKings has a $1,000 deposit bonus for all new sports bettors who register. 

Official Pick: Back the Giants on the moneyline for 1.5 units.
