My Giants vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks for May 14 see Roupp leading San Francisco to a victory.
Who will win Giants vs Dodgers tonight: Giants moneyline (+150)
Landen Roupp has performed at the level of a Top-10 starting pitcher, sporting a 2.52 xERA and 2.51 FIP. He’s suppressed hard contact expertly, allowing zero barrels and ranking in the 98th percentile in hard-hit rate.
He gives the San Francisco Giants a starting pitching edge over Emmet Sheehan, who has lost a full tick on his fastball en route to a career-low 93 Stuff+.
The gap in hitting has narrowed lately. The Los Angeles Dodgers have plated three or fewer runs in 10 of their last 14 games, whereas the Giants have scored 5+ in five of their last eight.

Giants vs Dodgers Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-115)
Both starting pitchers have a strong track record against their rival. Roupp has limited L.A.’s projected starting lineup to a .167 AVG and .593 OPS in 48 at-bats, while Sheehan has held SF’s bats to a .088 AVG and .250 OPS across 34 at-bats.
Dave Roberts can turn to a bullpen that leads the majors in FIP (3.12). That’s a valuable card to play in a series where six of the last seven meetings have resulted in an Under.
San Francisco has hit the Under in 10 of its last 15 games and will rely on Roupp limiting a slumping Dodgers lineup in this series finale.
