Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 4, Giants 2
Moneyline
Lots of juice clouding profit potential here. PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Harrison was aided by a .236 batting average on balls in play last season. Glasnow’s early-season stuff has often been dominant over his career (.584 OPS allowed).
Peg a moderate lean on the DODGERS -1.5 (-115).
Over/Under
The Over is 4-0-1 across L.A.’s last 4 games and is undefeated across the Giants’ 6 games this season.
But there is some lean toward a pushback in Wednesday’s series finale. Most of that comes from the L.A. side of the equation, with Glasnow being a pick to click and on the Dodgers’ offensive numbers being a bit overcooked by a .358 batting average on balls in play (.379 BABIP with runners in scoring position) and a 17.1% of fly balls landing as home runs.
The back ends of both bullpens figure as mostly available.
Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 8.5 (-115).
