Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants 6/7/19 MLB Betting Odds, Predictions, and Picks

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants play Game 1 of their three-game set on Friday at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

Dodgers’ ace Clayton Kershaw will open on top of the mound on Friday against the Giants.  The 31-year old left-hander has started in a total of 9 games this season and has posted a record of 5-0 with an ERA of 3.20, a WHIP of .105 and a BAA of .241. The Dodgers are a perfect 9-0 SU when Kershaw starts this season.

Kershaw has allowed only 21 earned runs on 53 hits with 8 home runs. The Dallas, Texas native has walked a total of 9 batters and has 55 strikeouts on the season. In his last outing, Kershaw earned his fifth win of the season after allowing only one run on six hits in 7.0 innings of pitch work as the Dodgers beat the Phillies 4-3 on June 1st.

Right fielder Cody Bellinger is having a sensational start for the Dodgers. Bellinger leads the team with a .370 batting average. He also has a team-best 54 RBIs and 20 home runs on the season. As a team, Los Angeles is hitting the ball at a .265 average and the Dodgers have scored a total of 340 runs on the season.

For the Giants, it will be left-hander Drew Pomeranz who will start on Friday. The 30-year old Ole Miss product has started in a total of 10 games this season and has a record of 1-6. The Collierville, Tennessee native has an ERA of 8.08, a WHIP of 1.87 and a BAA of .317 on the season. San Francisco is 4-6 in his 10 starts this year.

Pomeranz has allowed a total of 35 earned runs on 52 hits with 11 home runs while also fanning out 43 hitters and walking 21 batters. In his most recent start, Pomeranz was handed the loss after he gave up eight runs on six hits with two home runs during the Giants’ 6-9 loss to the Baltimore Orioles last May 31st.

First baseman Brandon Belt has been the key offensive player for the Giants this season. Belt is batting at a team-high .246 clip while also leading the Giants in RBIs and home runs with a total of 27 and 9, respectively. San Francisco is batting at .221 as a team and they have scored a total of 236 runs on the season.

Who Wins?

Los Angeles is 8-2 SU in their last 10 games played. The Dodgers are 2-1 SU in their last three games played on the road. San Francisco is 4-6 SU in their last 10 games played. The Giants are 0-2 SU in two home games played during that span. Head to head, the Dodgers are 7-3 SU in their last 10 meetings against the Dodgers and Los Angeles is 4-2 SU in their last six home games against the Giants.

The Dodgers are 42-9 SU in Kershaw’s last 51 starts against the National League West, 60-18 SU in his last 78 starts after a Quality Start in his previous outing, 80-25 SU in his last 105 starts on grass and 82-25 SU in his last 107 starts overall. Meanwhile, the Giants are 1-4 SU in their last five games against a left-handed starter, 1-4 SU in their last five home games against a lefty, 1-7 SU in their last eight Game 1s of a series and 0-8 in their last 8 games after a road trip of more than seven days.

There are plenty of reasons to roll with the Dodgers here. They are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games as baseball betting favorites. They don’t have a game on Thursday and should be rested and they have their ace pitcher starting for them in this game. On the other hand, the Giants have struggled with Pomeranz as starter and Pomeranz has an ERA of 8.08 on the season. I’m picking the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the San Francisco Giants on 6/7/19.

The under is 6-3-1 in the Dodgers’ last 10 games played. The total has gone under in each of the last three road games played by the Dodgers. The over is 30-28-2 in the Giants’ 60 games played so far this season. San Francisco has seen the total go over in their last two home games played.

Kershaw’s going to get his numbers but so will the Dodgers’ batting order. Prediction: Over 7.5
