Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Giants 3

The Dodgers have won 4 straight games and 8 of their last 10, allowing 3 or fewer runs in 6 straight games. They are 16-11 against division foes and 5-1 against the Giants this season. They are 26-15 on the road, the 2nd-most road wins in the majors.

The Giants have lost 6 of their last 9 games and are 14-24 against teams with winning records like the Dodgers. They are, though, 23-18 at home.

Knack has been very good, allowing no more than 2 runs in any start thus far, while Webb has been very average in June and leads the majors with 106 hits allowed.

BET DODGERS (-105).

The Dodgers are 22-18 ATS on the road this season and 7 of their last 8 wins have been by multiple runs.

Three of the Giants’ last 7 losses have been by only 1 run and 2 against the Dodgers have been by 1 run.

The plus odds are tempting to take the Dodgers and perhaps worth a little something, but with near-even odds on the moneyline and likely a low-scoring game, which makes a 1-run game more likely, PASS.

Five of the 6 meetings this season between the teams have had at least 8 total runs.

Webb’s last 6 starts have alternated between 7 or fewer and 8 or more total runs, with his last start finishing with 8 total runs. Four of Knack’s starts have not reached 8 total runs and 3 have not surpassed 5.

BET UNDER 7.5 (-115).
