With the Dodgers already locked into the No. 2 seed, Sunday's game doesn't carry much meaning, making the Giants undervalued.

The regular season concludes for playoff-bound Los Angeles (70%) with a rivalry game against San Francisco at Oracle Park, and I'm breaking it down with my Dodgers vs. Giants predictions. 

My MLB picks see the Giants as an undervalued asset given the volatility of a meaningless game here on Sunday, Sept. 27, with playoff seeding already locked in.

For help understanding probabilities, see our odds calculator.

I'd play the San Francisco Giants up to 35% considering they're a club with zero motivational edge. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers are locked into the No. 2 seed, and Sunday's game won't affect the standings in any way. Justin Wrobleski will likely get the bullpen game started, and his 4.50 xERA and .268 xBA aren't what you want to bring into a fight. 

His 97 Stuff+ isn't encouraging either, so it wouldn't be surprising if San Francsico put up a few runs while nabbing a victory as a sizable underdog.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Wrobleski doesn't miss bats (12th percentile whiff rate) and gets hit around, checking in with a 16th percentile barrel rate and a 13th percentile hard-hit rate.

Dodgers vs Giants Over/Under pick: Under 8.5

The first two games of this series flew Under the total, finishing as 2-0 and 4-3 Dodger victories. Let's go back to the well in the finale. 

The Giants haven't been an offensive juggernaut, ranking 29th in wOBA (.275) across the last 14 days. The Dodgers boast the better offensive statistics, but it's likely Dave Roberts plays many of his bench options while resting them for the playoffs.

The Giants have gone 0-5-1 O/U in their last six games in what's destined to be a low-scoring finish to the season. Seth Lonsway will eat the bulk of the innings for them, and his 115 Pitching+ in a limited sample is an encouragement.

Dodgers vs Giants home run prediction: Mookie Betts

Mookie Betts hits sinkers very well, posting a 135 wRC+ against the offering this year and a 164 wRC+ throughout his career. Lonsway tosses sinkers at a 50% rate against righties, so this is a tailor-made matchup for Betts to enjoy a productive night. 

After bopping a home run last night, Betts is my call to do so again in the finale.
