LA Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
You could make a case for the San Francisco Giants and the big plus money, considering Glasnow hasn’t pitched in three weeks due to a back injury. Possible rust? With that said, the Giants still can’t put together offense and Robbie Ray has been out of work for quite some time due to Tommy John. There are bigger issues on the Giants side. I have no choice but to side with the Dodgers, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
