Dodgers Beat Giants 5-1 to Reach 100 Wins
The Dodgers closed the regular season with a 5-1 win over the Giants at Oracle Park, reaching the 100-win mark for the fifth time in the last seven full seasons. Los Angeles was already locked into October; San Francisco finished 31 games under .500, a season that went sideways in April and never corrected. On the surface it was the least meaningful game on the slate, and the final score reflects a Dodgers club that simply had more than the Giants did.
How our card graded
- Moneyline โ Dodgers: WIN. The side came home, and the final margin was comfortable.
- Run line โ Dodgers -1.5: WIN. A four-run margin cleared the number.
- Total โ Over: LOSS. Six combined runs fell short, and the losing leg was a reasonable bet that didn't land.
- Shohei Ohtani over 1.5 total bases (-106): LOSS. One hit, one total base. The profile was right; the result wasn't.
- Andy Pages over 1.5 total bases (+134): WIN. A homer, four total bases, four RBI and a walk. The plus-money price made it the best return on the card.
Takeaway
This is the shape of a good late-season card: the side and the run line carried the day, the plus-money prop paid off, and the two losing legs โ the total and Ohtani โ were both reasonable bets that simply didn't land. When a lineup is projected for a big number and the arm on the other side is a question mark, the value often sits in individual bats rather than the team total. That held up here. Expect that lean to keep showing up as October arrives.
