Starting Pitching Matchup
The Los Angeles Dodgers will send out Tyler Glasnow for the start here and Glasnow is 8-5 with a 2.88 ERA and 135 strikeouts this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers Recap
The Los Angeles Dodgers come into this one looking to bounce back after starting the series on the wrong foot with a 5-3 loss in Friday’s series opener. The loss put the Dodgers’ series unbeaten streak at risk after earning series wins over the White Sox, Rockies and Royals over the last two weeks with a series split with the Angels sandwiched in the middle.
Dodgers Still Rolling Offensively Despite Loss
Shohei Ohtani has 101 hits including a team-high 25 home runs, 21 doubles and 61 RBIs with a .322 batting average while Mookie Betts has 86 hits with 16 doubles, 3 triples, 10 homers and 40 RBIs of his own, but will miss the next few weeks because of an injury. Teoscar Hernandez also has 18 home runs with 55 RBIs and a team-high 98 strikeouts. Betts also has 9 stolen bases while Ohtani has a team-high 16 stolen bases. Freddie Freeman also has 50 RBIs with 22 doubles and Will Smith has added 16 doubles, 11 home runs and 47 RBIs.
Why the Los Angeles Dodgers will win

- The Giants have lost each of their last six home games against the Dodgers following a home win.
- The Giants have failed to cover the run line in each of their last six home games against the Dodgers following a win.

San Francisco Giants Recap
The San Francisco Giants come into this one looking to keep the good vibes going after their series-opening victory over the rival Dodgers last time out. The win was a welcome sight for the Giants after their series victory over the Cubs to start the week.
Giants Consistently Producting At The Plate
Thairo Estrada has 68 hits along with a team-high 9 home runs and 39 RBIs while also chipping in 14 doubles. Michael Conforto has 49 hits with 9 home runs, 9 doubles and 29 RBIs while Matt Chapman has 72 hits of his own alongside 20 doubles with 10 homers, 35 RBIs and 7 stolen bases. Chapman also has the dubious distinction of leading the Giants with 83 strikeouts this season.

- The Giants have won each of their last five home games against NL West opponents.
- The Dodgers have lost five of their last six day games against the Giants following a loss.
- The Giants have covered the run line in each of their last five home games against NL West opponents.
- The Dodgers have failed to cover the run line in five of their last six day games against the Giants following a loss.
LA Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers here. I don’t love Tyler Glasnow because of the heavy price tags that normally come along with him in his starts. However, even though the Giants and potential bullpen games has been a profitable strategy in the past, I think that the Dodgers get some revenge here. I’ll back Los Angeles in this one.
