San Francisco Giants vs LA Dodgers Prediction
Webb looked good in his last start, and although he hasn’t always gotten a ton of run support this season, he has mostly been strong. In this game I expect the Giants are going to give Webb some run support. The Dodgers offense is going to stay well below their season average and that will be the difference as the Giants are going to get the job done. Back the Giants on the money line.
