Giants vs Dodgers Prediction

The Dodgers have burned me over the last couple of days, but there’s only one way to go here. Not only are the Dodgers in a different zip code in terms of form, but Skubal has got comfortable with his new team and is rocking a 0.99 ERA on the season. Marte has just 19.1 big league innings under his belt, and he’s facing this Dodgers lineup. I have to side with the Dodgers, and of course I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
