Giants vs Dodgers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Dodgers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 60-41 record overall which leads the NL West with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their home games with their 32-19 home record. Meanwhile, the Giants haven't looked great in their games this season with their 48-53 record overall which has them near the bottom of the NL West. They have been struggling to get over .500 all year and they have looked even worse in their road games with their 20-31 road record. The Dodgers weren't at their best going into the All-Star break, but they have been hot coming out of it with 4 wins in a row now. The Giants have been doing the opposite though, losing 2 of the 3 games in their series over the weekend and now the 1st game of this one too. It won't help that they have Ray on the mound in this one and he is making his season debut after missing the whole year with an injury. The Dodgers have Glasnow going in this one and that is going to give them a big advantage here with the pitching matchup. Glasnow is 8-5 with a 3.47 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs all season. He did give up 5 earned runs in his last start, but he will be looking to bounce back at home with a better performance and the team has still won 4 games in a row with him starting too. They also have one of the best offenses in the MLB to help Glasnow out if he does get into trouble here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.
