Dodgers vs Giants Prediction
I don’t know who is on the mound for the Dodgers, but it probably doesn’t matter. The Dodgers continue to win games and are finding their postseason form while the Giants continue to stink up the joint. The Dodgers need to keep winning as they’re fighting for overall seeding in terms of home field in certain spots for the postseason. The Giants don’t put any fear in the heart of their rival in their current form. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
