Giants vs Dodgers Prediction
Yamamoto has been strong for the Dodgers with a 2.77 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, and he’s even better on the road, where he has a 2.12 ERA and .183 allowed batting average. However, the Dodgers are having a rough week, and they’re not a team I’m excited to back. It feels like the Dodgers could use the break. The Giants are playing confident ball, and Ray has been rolling with a 2.63 ERA and 1.10 WHIP, and he’s allowed 11 hits and four runs in his last 20.2 innings. In 61.2 home innings, Ray has a 2.48 ERA and a .224 allowed batting average. I’ll gladly take the Giants and the plus money in this spot.
