DODGERS VS GIANTS PREDICTION
The Giants have the best record in baseball and are 2 games ahead of the Dodgers in the NL West. These teams are playing well with both teams winning 8 out of the last 10 games. This will be the first time these teams meet and the Dodgers will be hungry for wins to get back on top of the division. Wood has pitched well this season but career numbers are clear that Bauer is the better pitcher and the Dodgers bullpen has been getting the job done consistently which will make runs hard to come by for the Giants. Dodgers are hitting righties better than lefties at a .255 batting average this season. The Dodgers have an advantage with seeing Wood pitch for 5 seasons in LA to know his strengths and weaknesses to exploit. San Francisco leads MLB in strikeouts against right-handed pitching this season, and that’s something Bauer will take advantage of. The Giants are being pounded by the public early causing the lines to move but the Dodgers are the better team that will be hungry for the win to get back to 1st place. Look for the Dodgers to get to Wood early and get the win.
