I looked at my FMS bridge visual and this is not real clear. The course is flown 275 deg to SAMUL then a jog 267 deg to F101D then 281 deg. Nowhere does it say that F101D is the runway 28R centerline. I suspect it is supposed to be and the planview looks like it is.
More confusing is the LDA28R approach is 281 deg (a 3 deg offset) all the way in.
Also to add further confusion the RNAV app to 28R is 284 deg all the way in which coincides withe LOC 284 deg but doesn't jive with the FMS visual 281 deg from F101D?

Often the FMS course is a couple degrees off from the LOC or VOR course. I don't know what's going on here.
