Giants vs Dodgers Game Preview
These NL West Division Rivals already played one series in early April of this season. The Giants should have revenge on their mind, because LA was able to come into San Francisco and steal two of three games on the road. The Giants did shutout the Dodgers 5-0 in their win, but the losses were a bit ugly. The Dodgers beat SF by a score of 9-1 and 10-5.
Clearly the bats were working fine in the Northern part of Cali.
Back home in LA, the Dodgers are a force to be reckoned with.
Just 39-30 overall sits them at 2nd in the NL West, but they are an astounding 22-11 at Dodger Stadium. The Giants are roughly 3 games behind LA for 2nd in the division, and they are also on a four game winning streak.
Will the Giants be able to take down the dominant team at home? Or will the Dodgers continue to prove that they are a World Series contender?

Giants vs Dodgers Prediction & Best Bet
It is worth noting that the Giants enjoyed yesterday off, while the Dodgers went into an extra inning battle against the White Sox. The Dodgers eventually won that game, but did have to use some extra arms from the bullpen to get it done.
Does one off day play a huge role for professional athletes? Probably not a whole lot, but we are still waiting on some matchup information from LA, namely who will be the starting pitcher.
I would expect Bobby Miller to take the bump for LA, however he did start on Saturday, just six days ago. He had a fantastic outing, going 6 shutout innings while striking out 7 batters.
If Miller gets the nod for LA, I think I lean with the Dodgers to get it done at home.
Player Props
Patrick Bailey over 0.5 Total Bases (-155)
Once again, we have a heavily juiced prop. If you’ve been here before, this is nothing new. I’ve got no problem paying the juice man in certain situations.
This is one of them.
Bailey is on a three game hit streak, and seems to mash the ball on the road.
He clears this line in 60% of games this season, and he’s hit in 7/10 road games this year as well, including 3 straight.
Bailey typically gets at least 4 ABs per game, and sometimes 5, so he will have plenty of chance to get is a base knock. In the past three games, Bailey has 10 total bases and is 6/14 at the plate.
He is a switch hitter, so no matter who the Dodgers put on the mound, Bailey should have a favorable matchup.
Freddie Freeman over 1.5 Total Bases (+110)
This was a very popular pick yesterday, and he fell flat on his face. So we’re going right back to Mr. Freddie Freeman.
Freeman has been fairly average this year, only clearing this number in 49% of games, but he has cleared in 57% of his L30 contests. But what stuck out to me is his history against John Brebbia.
Freeman is a lefty, already batting .302 against RHP. Brebbia, a righty, allows batters from either side to bat about .250 against him. Great spot for Freddie.
To take it one step further, Freeman has done very well historically against Brebbia.
In 8 plate appearances, Freeman bats .667 against this guy, with 4 singles, a double, and a solo HR. He’s been bad recently, only 1/15 in his L3 games.
I couldn’t think of a better matchup for Freeman to get out of his slump.
