Giants vs Dodgers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Dodgers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 41-28 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL West with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark with their 23-11 home record. Meanwhile, the Giants have looked really good in their games this season with their 40-29 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 18-18 road record this season. The Giants have looked great lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games while the Dodgers are only 5-5, but the Giants ended their last series with a loss to the Rockies which snapped the win streak they were on. Roupp is on the mound for the Giants in this one and he is 4-4 with a 3.29 ERA this year. He has looked good in his starts lately, but he did give up 3 earned runs in his last start and even though that isn't a bad start, that will get him into trouble against one of the best offenses in the MLB here. His team has also been struggling with him lately as they have lost 2 games in a row with him starting. Kershaw is on the mound for the Dodgers in this one and he has looked a lot better lately after a rough start to the season. He is 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA, but he only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. His team has been finding success with him too, winning 2 games in a row now with him starting, and the Dodgers can take advantage of them in this game too since Kershaw has pitched better at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
"Two defensive plays affected that inning. Little things like that that we've been pretty good at, especially in these tight games." - Bob Melvin after his team’s loss against the Rockies in their game on Thursday.
"By way of need and where we were at, we felt that there was more value out of the 'pen and being kind of a versatile-type reliever. But where we are at now, currently, he’s certainly showing that he’s one of five. The next time he’s on the mound, it'll be as a starter." - Dave Roberts after his team’s win against the Padres in their game on Wednesday.
