Giants vs Dodgers prediction
As I’ve said many times already this season, the Dodgers are going to be favored more times than not, especially at home. And as talented and stacked as the Dodgers are, you’re paying inflated prices because of how public the Dodgers are. Yes, the Dodgers are loaded and Glasnow is coming off a strong start. However, we’re getting more than 1.5 times our money with one of the best pitchers in baseball in Logan Webb. Current Dodgers are hitting .327 with a .895 OPS against Webb in 165 at bats, but still. Webb is still one of the best pitchers in baseball. I’ll take big plus money in spots like this every time.
