Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
This was the week to fade the Dodgers and they’re starting to give back some of that profit. I said that the Dodgers would be losers on the season; just be patient. With that said, don’t expect the Dodgers to keep piling up losses in patches. The offense should break through against Mahle, who has been a disaster this season, and Ohtani has looked great on the mound. I’m surprised this line isn’t closer toward the -300 range. Either way, I’m going to side with the Dodgers, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
