The San Francisco Giants look to snap back from an 8-0 loss to the Astros on Friday when they take the field in Los Angeles against righty Brad Penny.
The Giants start Jamey Wright, 1-0, 5.14 ERA. His last trip was a win, a 12-6 team win against the Braves, when he threw 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits.
Los Angeles brings a 5-5 overall mark (0-0 in the division) into this game versus a San Francisco team carrying a 5-3 record.
The Dodgers are favored slightly by the bookmakers, who opened the game at -145. They are 5-5 on the season, while the Giants bring a 5-3 mark to the table. The total has been set at 8.
Last time out, the Giants lost to the Astros 8-0 as underdogs. That contest went as a push against the closing total.
The Dodgers defeated the Pirates 13-5 as underdogs. That contest went over the closing total.
Expect San Francisco to be tough at the plate and not sink themselves by striking out a lot. The Giants batters are in the top three in the league, fanning just 3.9 times per game.
Some trends to consider:
San Francisco is 2-6-0 OU in its last 8 games away against Los Angeles
San Francisco is 2-5-1 OU in its last 8 games against Los Angeles
San Francisco is 2-5-1 OU in its last 8 away
San Francisco is 4-1-1 OU in its last 6 games
Los Angeles is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games
Los Angeles is 6-3-0 OU in its last 9 at home
Los Angeles is 5-10-0 SU in its last 15 games after scoring more than 9 runs
Los Angeles is 2-6-0 OU in its last 8 games at home against San Francisco
