Pick
I’m backing the Dodgers here. I just like this matchup for Clayton Kershaw, and while the Giants got one over on L.A. on Tuesday, the Dodgers don’t usually stay down for very long and Alex Cobb’s had issues dealing with the Dodgers in past seasons. I just feel like this is a prime bounce back spot for the Dodgers, so give me Los Angeles here.
