San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Prediction

The Dodgers send LHP Julio Urias to the hill against San Francisco’s third-ranked scoring offense on Saturday night (4.82 RSPG), who’s having another excellent campaign sitting 8-6 with a 2.89 ERA across 18 starts (1.02 WHIP), which already includes a pair of solid performances against the Giants (12 IP, 2 ER).

On the other hand, the Giants send LHP Alex Wood to the mound against L. A.’s second-ranked scoring offense tonight (5.18 RSPG), who’s been up-and-down for San Francisco all season sitting 6-7 with a 4.20 ERA across 18 starts (1.24 WHIP), which already includes a lackluster outing against the Dodgers (5.1 IP, 3 ER).

I’ll back L. A. here, as Wood has tossed six innings or less and surrendered three runs or more in eight of his last 15 appearances for the Giants (4-7, 4.52 ERA); setting the stage for an unfavorable matchup against the Dodgers and Urias, who’s posted a sturdy 2.45 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 16 career starts against San Francisco (88 IP, 24 ER).

Score Prediction: Dodgers 6, Giants 3
Best Bet: Dodgers -1.5 (+115)
