Dodgers vs Giants Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Giants. I was on the Giants on Saturday, and it didn’t necessarily pan out, but the Dodgers haven’t been as strong against left-handed pitching as of late. Furthermore, I think they could have issues here against a pitcher in Harrison who has picked up his play on the road as of late. Dustin May has been hittable, and I think in the end, the Giants have the edge in the bullpen, so give me the Giants in this one at nice plus money.
