Money line (ML)
The value is with the GIANTS (+155), making them the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.
They are 15-8 as road dogs, have the best overall record in baseball and won their last three games at Dodger Stadium.
Plus, DeSclafani won his last four starts allowing 3 earned runs in 27 innings for a 1.00 ERA.
He was hammered for 10 runs in 2 2/3 innings of an 11-5 home loss to the Dodgers May 23 but bounced back with a better outing five days later, yielding 2 runs in 4 2/3-innings of a no-decision in an 8-5 road win.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
PASS. If you prefer a bit of insurance, it would be reasonable to divvy up the Giants’ ML wager with a Giants +1.5 (-135) bet.
ATS records: Giants 50-27 (MLB’s best record) | Dodgers 37-41
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 7.5 (-115) is worth a HALF-UNIT PLAY.
The O/U is 5-2 in the seven head-to-head meetings between the NL West rivals this season including 3-1 in four games at Chavez Ravine.
The O/U is also 8-7 in DeSclafani’s starts but 6-10 in Bauer’s starts.
O/U records: Giants 37-38-2 | Dodgers 39-36-3
