The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers meet Monday in MLB action at Dodger Stadium. The Giants look for a win after winning 16 of their last 22 games. The Dodgers need a win after splitting their last eight games.
The San Francisco Giants have scored 10 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in 10 of their last 12 games. The Giants have won 13 of their last 14 games when scoring four or more runs. Buster Posey leads the Giants with 58 hits and 27 RBI while Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski have combined for 105 hits and 77 RBI. Anthony DeSclafani gets the ball, and he is 8-2 with a 2.77 ERA and 80 strikeouts this season. DeSclafani is 1-6 with a 6.43 ERA and 40 strikeouts in his career against the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 16 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in seven of their last 11 games. The Dodgers have lost five of their last seven games when scoring three or less runs. Justin Turner leads the Dodgers with 77 hits and 40 RBI while Chris Taylor and Mookie Betts have combined for 128 hits and 65 RBI. Trevor Bauer gets the ball, and he is 7-5 with a 2.57 ERA and 129 strikeouts this season. This will be Bauer’s second career game against the Giants.
The Giants are 15-4 in their last 19 road games and 42-20 in their last 62 overall. The Dodgers are 50-20 in their last 70 home games and 116-54 in their last 170 games as a favorite. The over is 7-3 in Giants last 10 overall. The under is 4-1 in Dodgers last 5 overall. The over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The Dodgers are going to be favored at home regardless of who they play, but this line isn’t showing any respect toward the Giants. Not only are the Giants playing the better ball this season and currently one of the hotter teams in the league right now, but DeSclafani has been really good this season. In fact, DeSclafani has allowed just three earned runs in his last 27 innings. The value is all over the Giants here.
