Dodgers vs Guardians Prediction

I’ll keep saying it, but you’re going to make money fading the Dodgers long-term. We saw it last year; despite the Dodgers winning all of those games, they were a loser for MLB bettors. At these inflated prices it takes a loss here and a loss there to lose all profit. The Guardians aren’t some pushover team that should be getting +200 prices. Bibee is a better pitcher than what he showed in his debut. Yes, Dodgers, home field and Ohtani. Yeah yeah yeah. I get it. I’m still grabbing the dogs against the Dodgers.
