Look, the Giants have the clear starting pitching edge here with Carlos Rodon over Mitch White, but Rodon has been a bit worse on the road and had been dealing with a split nail and a blood blister on his pitching hand -- why he didn't pitch in the All-Star Game. Maybe he's still not 100 percent? Has to leave early? Also no Brandon Crawford. I simply think the Dodgers are better pretty much everywhere else and getting them -130 at home is rare. It's only the second time this year that LA is a -130 home favorite or lower, and it beat the Padres and Joe Musgrove the last time on June 30. The starter that night for the Dodgers? White, who hasn't been that bad this season other than last time out in St. Louis. So I have to do it.

Los Angeles RHP Mitch White gave up six runs in his last outing. The Dodgers have lost four of his last six starts. The last time these rivals met, the Giants posted a 2-0 victory to complete a three-game sweep, and it was LHP Carlos Rodon who laid down the law. Rodon has allowed fewer than two runs in six of his last seven outings. He'll get the job done again. Take San Francisco to win a low-scoring game.
