Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers in this one. I’m just hoping the Dodgers don’t give Snell another quick hook in this start but I still think that Los Angeles can get the job done here. L.A. has been the best team in baseball in September against left-handed pitching and I look for the Dodgers to get to Wilkinson for another win ahead of the playoffs. Give me the Dodgers.
