Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Giants 3
Money line
The Dodgers are just playing so well. In addition to having taken the first 2 games of this series, they have won 6 in a row, 13 of 14 and 17 of 20. They have won Urias’ last 6 starts.
The Giants won 7 of 9 games before the All-Star break but it is hard to bet against the Dodgers right now.
That said, PASS on the money line. At -180, it isn’t worth the action, especially with a better bet available with the run line.
