San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Giants in this one. The Dodgers did not look all that sharp in their series against Atlanta and I think they could struggle once again. McDonald has solid stuff and Sasaki for me is the weak link of this Dodger starting rotation. I think this is San Fran’s best shot in this series and they come back with a win to start the set. Give me the Giants.
