MLB | L.A. Dodgers 5 @ San Francisco 3 | 08/04 | 7:45 PM UTC
San Francisco +180
LOSS
ANALYSIS: The Dodgers have a big series this weekend against the Padres and my guess is they’ll be looking ahead to that with both their focus and bullpen usage. They might even rest one of their top three in BEtts, Freeman or Turner. Clayton Kershaw hasn’t been great in his last two starts and one of those was against the Giants. Jakob Junis pitched well last outing. He hasn’t been going deep but the Giants have all their top relievers available. The Dodgers bullpen is a bit worked after three wins and I don’t think Dave Roberts would overextend his best bullpen arms going into this Padres series, so I like the Giants to avoid the four game sweep at home. Take the value on the Giants at home.
