LA Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
The LA Dodgers continue to roll and while Gavin Stone isn't a pitcher I'm excited to back, especially on the road, this line is more than fair. The San Francisco Giants continue to come up short offensively, and they're getting harder and harder to back with confidence against good teams. Also, Keaton Winn has allowed 12 runs in his last 4.1 innings. That's not ideal when going up against an absolutely stacked Dodgers lineup. I'm going to side with the Dodgers and will lay the PL to shave down the juice. Not a great matchup for Winn given his recent struggles.
