    Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Landon Knack.

    Corbin Burnes went seven strong innings on Thursday night to cash our Look of the Day, bringing our recent streak to 10-1 in our last 11 picks. Let's stay hot with another MLB pick for Friday night's slate.

    Look of the Day: Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Francisco Giants first 5 innings under 3.5 (+105 FanDuel )

    The Dodgers take on the Giants in a National League West battle on Friday night, and we're expecting somewhat of a pitchers' duel to start the game.

    Logan Webb has been great at home all season. The right-hander has a 2.06 ERA and a 1.063 WHIP through seven home starts, and opposing hitters are slugging just .328 against him at Oracle Park. Webb has given up two earned runs or fewer in five of his seven home starts, and he held the Dodgers to only three hits and no runs in his lone home start against them this season.

    On the other side, Landon Knack is enjoying a brilliant start to his MLB career. The rookie righty has a 2.10 ERA, a .217 expected batting average allowed and a 0.935 WHIP through five starts. He hasn't surrendered more than two earned runs in any of them.

    Both lineups are struggling against right-handed pitching right now. The Giants have the second-lowest OPS (.543) and wRC+ (54) against righties over the last week, and the Dodgers are batting just .210 with a wRC+ of 89 against righties in the same span.

    Oracle Park is one of the best under stadiums in MLB because of its large dimensions and chilly weather, and both pitchers should be able to stay away from barrels early on.
