San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m backing the Giants +1.5 here. The Dodgers got a win by a few runs against Cincinnati in Skubal’s last start. However, that was just the first time in Skubal’s 8 starts as a Dodger where L.A. won by multiple runs and now we’re seeing the name brand combination of Skubal and the Dodgers make this price outrageous. I’m not a massive Giants fan, but the value is all on San Francisco here +1.5.
