Dodgers vs Giants Prediction

The Dodgers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of the last four, while this season, the Dodgers lead 2-1. I am backing the Giants to open this series with a win and exploit Los Angeles’s bad form. Logan Webb is surely in better form than Dustin May this year; Webb allowed more than two runs just once in his previous seven starts. He faced the Dodgers this season and allowed two runs in 7.0 innings in a win. May, on the other hand, surrendered multiple runs in each of his last seven starts and is coming from a weak month, posting a 5.67 ERA in June. The Dodgers will have to bounce back and return to winning ways eventually, but that is not going to happen on Friday. Go with Frisco.
