Giants vs Dodgers Prediction & Pick
Friday night's collapse certainly left a bad taste in the mouth of Dodgers' fans, but the good news is that LA has rookie phenom Bobby Miller starting on Saturday. The 24-year-old has excelled during his short MLB career, posting a 0.78 ERA and 0.83 WHIP to go along with 23 strikeouts in 23.0 innings.
Miller has a deep arsenal of nasty pitches, which should frustrate San Francisco hitters given they have never faced him before. The same thing cannot be said about Giants' starter Alex Wood, though. Wood has been subpar against LA in his career, posting a 2-5 record and 3.77 ERA in 12 showings.
Keep in mind the Dodgers have an advantage at the plate just as much as they do on the mound. LA ranks above San Francisco is key categories such as runs per game (5.51) and on-base percentage (0.329). Expect the Dodgers to get back on track with a victory in front of a hyped home crowd.
Final Score Prediction:'Giants: 6 | Dodgers: 3
Giants vs Dodgers Best Bet
Bobby Miller is starting to figure out how to get batters to strike out, which is a scary develo pment for San Francisco. The young hurler has tallied 7 strikeouts in each of his last two games and now faces a lineup that has posted the fourth-highest strikeout percentage in all of baseball (25.1%). The Giants also own the 10th-lowest contact percentage in the majors, so look for some big swings and misses.
