The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers meet Wednesday in MLB action at Dodger Stadium. The San Francisco Giants need a win after losing four of their last five games. The Los Angeles Dodgers look for a win after winning 10 of their last 15 games.
The San Francisco Giants have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Giants have won seven of their last nine games when scoring four or more runs. Wilmer Flores leads the Giants with 20 hits and 13 RBI, while Thairo Estrada and Joe Pederson have combined for 37 hits and 24 RBI. Alex Wood gets the ball, and he is 2-1 with a 4.19 ERA and 19 strikeouts this season. Wood is 2-2 with a 3.12 ERA and 42 strikeouts in his career against the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 10 runs in their last three games and three or fewer runs in four of their last eight games. The Dodgers have lost five of their last six games when scoring three or fewer runs. Freddie Freeman leads the Dodgers with 25 hits and 10 RBI, while Trea Turner and Chris Taylor have combined for 43 hits and 29 RBI. The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.
Alex Wood is coming off a subpar performance, and now he goes up against a stacked Dodgers’ lineup that he’s had issues with in the past. In fact, current Dodgers are hitting .308 with seven homers in 87 career at bats against Wood. The Giants are in a bit of a funk overall right now. Even without knowing who takes the hill for the Dodgers, I’ll back the home team anyway.
