Dodgers 6, Giants 4
Money line (ML)
The Dodgers arrived in Northern California with a three-game win streak in tow, but the host Giants took Friday’s opener 3-2 in 11 innings.
Los Angeles is still 20-5 over its last 25 games. The Dodgers have averaged 4.6 runs per game while allowing just 2.5 RPG over that stretch.
San Francisco is continuing a home stand that got off to a rough start by losing three of four games to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Giants offense has logged a mere .646 OPS since Aug. 17.
The Giants are now up 9-8 in the season series that has seen San Francisco outscore Los Angeles, 71-70.
Urias is much the better option here, and he looks to be catching the Giants on a down note.
BACK THE DODGERS (-170).
