The Dodgers are 0-4 in their last 4 Wednesday games and 35-16 in their last 51 during game 2 of a series. The Giants are 17-5 in their last 22 Wednesday games and 39-19 in their last 58 home games. The under is 3-1-1 in Dodgers last 5 overall. The Dodgers are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings in San Francisco.
The Giants and plus money is hard to turn down, as they’re arguably the best team in baseball. However, Walker Buehler and the cheap price has to be the side here, especially with how he’s owned the Giants throughout his career. Anthony DeSclafani has been solid this year as well, but he’s had zero career success against the Dodgers. I’ll back the Dodgers and the reasonable price.
