Giants 6, Dodgers 5

The Dodgers finally got some offense going in their loss Friday after scoring a total of 10 runs in their previous 6 games. But they have lost Ohtani’s last 2 starts and are 20-23 against teams with winning records, while the Giants have won 7 of their last 9 games, are 28-18 at home and are 26-19 against teams above .500.

Roupp, although he fared poorly in his first start against the Dodgers, has been very good over the last month, allowing only 3 ER in his last 4 starts (20 1/3 IP), all wins for the Giants.

BET GIANTS (+130).

Expecting a Giants outright win with plus-odds on the ML, the -135 odds to cover on the run line isn’t very attractive. Their last 7 covers have been outright wins.

PASS.

All 4 meetings between the teams this season and their last 6, dating back to last season, have had totals of 8 or more runs.

All 4 of Ohtani’s starts this season have had totals of 9 or more.

Eight of the Giants’ last 10 games have reached at least 8 total runs.

BET OVER 8 (-110).
