Randy’s Pick

The Dodgers are going to be favored because they're the Dodgers, but I'm not laying any type of juice with Lance Lynn and his near 6 ERA. The Giants may be eliminated from playoff contention, but they're at home, and they're playing a heated rival they want to beat regardless of the situation. Also, Keaton Winn has been good in 37 innings with a 3.89 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. Assuming we're getting decent plus money, I'll side with the Giants at home.
