Dodgers and Giants Matchup Forecast, Odds Predicted: MLB Selection, Sept 19
The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers are set to clash later tonight in a highly anticipated game at Dodger Stadium. The first pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET, and the contest will be broadcast on Apple TV+.
The Dodgers find themselves fighting for the NL West standings, with the Padres hot on their heels with a few games remaining. Meanwhile, the Giants are still in the race for the final Wild Card spot in the National League, trying to close a three-game deficit.
The projected starting pitchers for the game are Robbie Ray for the Giants and Clayton Kershaw for the Dodgers. Kershaw, who announced his retirement at the end of the season, is set for his last regular season start in Dodger Blue. However, he has shown some regression this season, as evidenced by his 3.53/3.83 ERA and 3.59/4.25 FIP. In their previous encounter against Kershaw six days ago, the Giants managed to knock him out after three innings, scoring four runs on five hits.
The Giants' spread is 1.5-135, with the total set at 8.5-120o / 100u, and the moneyline at 155. On the other hand, the Dodgers' spread is -1.5+115, with the total remaining the same. There is no play on the moneyline for either team.
Justin Wrobleski is available in the Dodgers' bullpen, providing some relief options for Dave Roberts. The Giants' bullpen, well-rested and poised to mix and match in the late innings, will also play a crucial role in the game's outcome.
Robbie Ray, who has been a significant part of the Giants' success this season, will pose a tough challenge for the Dodgers. He boasts a record of 11-7, 2.5 fWAR (FanGraphs), 3.50/3.68 ERA, and 3.77/4.26 FIP. In a recent game, he struck out five Dodgers batters in 4 2/3 innings, indicating a strong likelihood of recording multiple outs by strikeout in tonight's game.
My Giants vs Dodgers prediction is the under on Clayton Kershaw's outs prop. I also lean towards the under for the over/under. The Dodgers have struggled against left-handed pitchers over the last four weeks, which could potentially favour the Giants in this matchup.
