Final Thoughts
With Emmet Sheehan on the mound and the Dodgers’ offense firing on all cylinders, Los Angeles enters this game as the stronger side. The Giants have turned over the keys to some of their younger players going into this matchup. But they have struggled to maintain leads and face a daunting challenge against a playoff-bound opponent. Betting on the Dodgers to cover the runline is my best bet for this series finale in the NL West.
