The Giants have won 10 of their last 13 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. Carlos Rodon gets the ball, and he is 3-0 with a 1.17 ERA and 38 strikeouts this season. Rodon is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA and 8 strikeouts in his career against the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 12 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last nine games. The Dodgers have won 12 straight games when scoring four or more runs.

The Giants are 38-13 in their last 51 road games and 37-16 in their last 53 overall. The Dodgers are 47-14 in their last 61 home games and 61-24 in their last 85 overall. The over is 4-1 in Giants last 5 overall. The under is 5-1 in Dodgers last 6 overall.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to be favored at home no matter who they play, and it doesn’t hurt that Urias is on the mound, a pitcher who has allowed one or fewer runs in his last three starts. However, we’re getting plus money with Rodon on the mound for the Giants, a pitcher who is an early favorite to win the CY Young. In 23 innings, Rodon has allowed 11 hits and three runs while striking out 38. I love dominant or hot pitchers and plus money. Give me the San Francisco Giants.
