Dodgers ML (-145)
Just when it seems like the Dodgers couldn’t possibly have any more superstars, they have a random prospect like James Outman. He hit a home run in his 1st-ever at-bat and nearly hit for the cycle in his debut on Sunday. Obviously that’s not what should be expected to win the Dodgers this game, but what is tried and true is having 3 NL MVP candidates in the lineup. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman have each already won the award, and Trea Turner has been arguably the best hitter this season. Those are the first 3 guys Giants starter Alex Wood will face tonight.'
That’s not the matchup San Francisco is hoping for, as they’ve lost Wood’s 2 starts against the Dodgers this season by a combined score of 13-3. The most recent of those losses was the Giants’ 3rd game after the all-star break, which was in the midst of a 7-game losing streak. They were able to bounce back a bit against the Cubs this past weekend, but they simply aren’t the same team with Evan Longoria and Brandon Crawford on the injured list. A depleted lineup is great news for Dodgers starter Tyler Anderson, as if he even needed the extra help. He’s 11-1 on the year and just beat the Giants the day before Woods’ loss. That was the start of a 4-game sweep, and the Dodgers should be on their way to another one this week.
