Giants at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 5, Dodgers 4
Money line
The Giants are on a mini roll and are at their best against lefties (.752 OPS). Anderson is a fly-ball pitcher who has had some favorable batted-ball outcomes on fly balls and in high-leverage situations.
TAKE SAN FRANCISCO (+260).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
The Dodgers do not get roped into a lot of 1-run games – just 12-12 in 134 games this season. The best play here is on a sideways Anderson start devolving into a bullpen rest management game.
Over/Under
BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-125) on a warm night with an outward breeze in the forecast.
