San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers in this one. Matt Wilkinson just hasn’t been worth backing in his limited action as far as I’m concerned, and I think the Dodgers get to him here. It will be interesting to see who Los Angeles sends out here, but I look for the Giants to fall flat to close out the series and for another sizeable Dodgers win here. Give me the Dodgers in this one.
