San Francisco Giants vs Los Angeles Dodgers 3/21/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The San Francisco Giants will go against the Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB action in Camelback Ranch Phoenix, AZ, on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, at 4:05 PM ET.

The first round of projections for the Giants’ Opening Day roster was still up in the air when we last visited this page. There was a chance David Villar wouldn’t make the team, thus his picture was the lead image.

One of the 37 non-roster invitees to camp, who were a mix of prospects, organizational depth, and minor-league free agents, could emerge as the following Ryan Vogelsong, Andres Torres, Grégor Blanco, or Chadwick Tromp.

There would be surprises, revelations in the second act, and victories in the third act. Even with the injury worries, the Giants’ roster appears to be more stable after the most recent round of roster cuts.

The situation is undoubtedly calmer than one might anticipate for the Ides of March. Before, it was impossible to rule out some of the pitchers on the Giants’ 40-man roster for the opening-day roster, but now it is likely possible.

Some more significant ailments completely eliminated some potential 40-man players, such as Luis González’s back and Thomas Szapucki’s neuroma, while others made projected starters questionable, such as Brandon Crawford’s knee and Mitch Haniger’s oblique.

The finest Scottsdale prospects, like Kyle Harrison, Casey Schmitt, and Marco Luciano, never really stood a chance of making the team out of training camp.

Even though the lineup on opening day is not completely established, it is shockingly simple for March 15.

When we previously used this header, Mitch Haniger and Brandon Crawford, who were both starters on opening days in 2012, were considered lock-ins (the largest free-agent contract of the Farhan Zaidi Era).

Injury always occurs in the spring. Both players were disqualified from consideration for the no-doubters, which changes things even though neither was ruled out for Opening Day and the likelihood that they are on the roster may be higher.

The San Francisco Giants are 2-3 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
San Francisco is 40-40 in their road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 4 of the Giants’ last 5 matches.

San Francisco Giants vs Los Angeles Dodgers Predictions 3/21/2023

Only Chris Taylor played in more matches than Muncy, although Trea Turner and Corey Seager outperformed him in several categories while playing fewer games overall.

Muncy effectively led the club in every significant offensive category on a full-time basis.

After that, his elbow injury prevented him from playing in the postseason and negatively impacted his 2022 season, which saw a significant decline because he had to change his swing technique because of mobility problems. He finally worked it out, and August and September were highly productive months for him.

Muncy indicated this summer that his mobility is back and that he is feeling normal, which may pave the way for a turnaround in his play (2018, 2019, and 2021).

Anticipate great things from one of the most underappreciated sluggers in the world if the injury is no longer preventing him from playing third base in 2023.

After being stopped by two of the best players in the league, Corey Seager and Trea Turner, the former top prospect in all of baseball made significant progress.

Yet the time came for him to emerge. He likely would have exceeded his already strong.276/.346/.399 slash line (and 105 OPS+) in 2022 if injuries did not interfere with the season.

Other younger players who could make the team for Opening Day are Ryan Pepiot, James Outman, and Miguel Vargas, all of whom still hold their rookie status.

It’s possible that additional people like Nick Nastrini, Gavin Stone, and Bobby Miller will show there sooner than planned.

It’s a numbers battle, so don’t be surprised if one of those players wins the NL Rookie of the Year award while competing against a group of the top veterans in the league.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 2-3 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
The LA Dodgers are 48-33 in their road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 1 of the Dodgers’ last 5 matches.

San Francisco Giants vs Los Angeles Dodgers. The MLB pick for this game is the San Francisco Giants. Even though Slater just began his season, it’s unlikely that he will be leaving the squad because he is one of the few playable center fielders.

With Haniger unwell, Conforto still recovering from a shoulder injury, Pederson still a DH only at this point, and Sabol not the most seasoned outfielder, it’s not an only center field that needs to be addressed.

The Giants require outfielders. However, keep in mind that Wade is perfectly fine in a corner position and that three infielders with first-base experience (Davis, Villar, and Flores) are likely to make the roster.

It is possible that the Giants will send Wisely back down because Crawford is fully recovered and they added Stephen Piscotty to the 40-man roster for outfield depth. The San Francisco Giants will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
