San Francisco Giants vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

Houser has been a disaster through 36.1 innings and his career numbers against the Dodgers hasn’t been any better. The Dodgers should be favored especially with Yamamoto on the mound. However, the Dodgers keep losing games and with these inflated prices theyre burning a hole in bettors pockets. I said before the season that this would happen and well here we are. There’s no reason to back the Giants here other than the Dodgers keep losing games and aren’t worth these numbers. You’ll profit this season if you blindly fade the Dodgers. I’ll take the Giants and a chance to make 2.5 times my money.
