21.07.2021. Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles).
The MLB leaders Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants will play their next game of the season. So far, the series score is 6-4 in favor of the Dodgers. Will the Giants reduce the gap? Let's pick a few bets on the MLB season at once.
Will the Dodgers have a Relief Game?
Los Angeles continues to have certain problems due to injuries to several members of the starting pitching rotation. First of all, it is worth saying that the Dodgers cannot yet count on Clayton Kershaw and Dustin May. In their absence, of course, head coach Dave Roberts' options are limited. At this point, the pitcher for the next meeting with the Giants is undecided.
Yesterday, the LADs couldn't handle San Francisco at all, losing 2-7. The hits ratio was 4-12 which is a terrible start by pitcher Tony Gonsolin, who allowed four runs in 3.1 innings.
The Giants are halfway through the season.
In the lead-up to the start of the National League season, it looked like the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres would be the stronger contenders for the championship. However, a third team, the San Francisco Giants, intervened. The Giants started the championship in good shape, and by the end of the first half of the championship, they were already in first place in the entire National League.
Alex Wood will pitch in the upcoming game. The pitcher has eight wins and just three losses with a 3.67 ERA this season. Against the Dodgers, Wood has played twice this season and lost both times. In mid-May, his team fell short against the Dodgers 1-2 and 3-4.
Experts betting tips
The Dodgers lead the season series, so they can have a margin for error. The bullpen game is hardly the best way to beat the current leaders. Besides, it's time to outplay the Dodgers and Alex Wood. The San Francisco pitcher is having a great season and should not lose to the Dodgers for the third time in a row.
Prediction: another San Francisco win.
Betting options:
