The San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet in an NL West division matchup in MLB action from Dodger Stadium on Monday night.
The San Francisco Giants will look to build on their sweep of the Phillies after a 5-3 win over Philadelphia last time out. Joc Pederson leads the Giants with 21 home runs and 61 RBIs while Wilmer Flores has 106 hits with 63 RBIs of his own, 26 doubles and a .246 batting average. Thairo Estrada has 105 hits with 19 doubles and 52 RBIs as well this season. Mike Yastrzemski also has 24 doubles of his own as well as a .207 batting average on the year. Logan Webb will start here and is 11-8 with a 2.89 ERA and 137 strikeouts this season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers will look to build on their series win over San Diego following a 9-4 win over the Padres from Sunday’s finale. Freddie Freeman has 168 hits with a .322 batting average while Justin Turner has 70 RBIs and 32 doubles. Trea Turner also has 164 hits with 34 doubles, a .304 batting average and a team-high 90 RBIs. Freeman also has 43 doubles to lead the Dodgers while Mookie Betts has 133 hits, 33 home runs, 74 RBIs and a .282 batting average. Andrew Heaney will start here and is 2-1 with a 2.12 ERA and 70 strikeouts this season.
San Francisco is 8-21 in their last 29 road games and 2-7 in their last 9 games overall while the over is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record. Los Angeles is 46-13 in their last 59 games overall and 65-19 in their last 84 home games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 home games against a team with a right-handed starter.
I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m leaning in the direction of the under here. Not because I think Webb vs. Heaney is a superstar matchup, but the Giants have been sputtering offensively in the last couple of weeks prior to the sweep of the Phillies and these Giants/Dodgers game end up being battles and can be low-scoring duels and I think that’s just what we have here. Give me the under.
