Doug Ziefel’s Giants vs Dodgers Preview
San Francisco Giants Betting Preview
This is a crucial rubber match for the San Francisco Giants, who have a chance to leave LA tied for first in the NL West. However, doing so will be a challenge as their bats have fallen off in recent weeks, and they have to contend with a Dodgers' pitching staff that is nearly at full strength.
Over the past two weeks, the Giants have a 98 wRC+ and the fifth-worst barrel rate in the league. Overall, their quality of contact doesn't show many signs of improvement as they rank 28th in hard-hit rate and 27th in exit velocity this season.
Those are not the types of numbers you want to take into a matchup against the Dodgers, who are starting Dustin May tonight. May has nasty stuff and flashes elite upside when he's right. His 4.46 ERA does not portray that as he's had a few rough outings against elite lineups, but the Giants shouldn't give him trouble.
Behind him, the Dodgers' bullpen is essentially at full strength after not being used much through the first two games of this series. Don't expect much from the Giants once May departs.
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup, you have a Dodgers lineup that is constructed to crush left-handed pitching. While they have done so as a whole, we've seen this lineup cool off quite a bit over the past two weeks as their wRC+, wOBA, and OPS are all down over 10% from their season average.
This is a prime spot for the Giants' Kyle Harrison, who is due for a great deal of positive regression. Harrison's ERA entering this outing is 4.56, but his xFIP is 3.76, and that's a far more accurate portrayal of how well he's pitched.
Harrison is above average in strikeout minus walk rate, called strike whiff rate, and holds an elite swinging strike rate. Harrison has also had success in his young career against this Dodgers lineup.
Over 37 combined at-bats, the Dodgers are hitting just .162 with a .270 slugging percentage. They have not made great contact against him either, as their collective xBA is .186.
So, while the Dodgers will be a tough test, Harrison appears ready to show he's legit in a big game. However, if he flusters, the Giants' pen is well-rested thanks to Tristan Beck and Spencer Bivens eating innings yesterday.
All of the Giants' high-leverage relief arms should be ready to go for this matchup and help contain the Dodgers' lineup.
Giants vs Dodgers Prediction, Betting Analysis
The market has initially bet this total up a bit as we see the price shaded towards the over, but it should come down as a closer look shows that both pitching staffs are in line to succeed tonight.
