SportsLine's proven model has simulated Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants 10,000 times and released its MLB picks for Sunday's game at Oracle Park in San Francisco
Thankfully for the Giants (and for the reputation of in-game interviews), the communication issue did not affect the game. Giants starter Robbie Ray retired the Dodgers in order in the sixth inning without the ball being hit in Chapman's direction. The Dodgers ultimately beat the Giants 5-2 in 11 innings.
The Giants are looking to finish the unofficial first half of the season on a high note as Robbie Ray takes on Yoshinobu Yamamoto. San Francisco won Friday night’s series opener, staving off a comeback attempt by the Dodgers, then lost Saturday as Shohei Ohtani made his pitching debut in the rivalry.
The Dodgers are 12-20 ATS as road favorites, and the 14 of the Giants' last 16 covers have been outright wins. So it is a better bet to get the plus odds on the ML for the Giants than the -155 odds for them to simply cover.
Giants second baseman Casey Schmitt was one of the few batters to get a hit off of Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Sunday, but he was also one of his seven strikeout victims. Schmitt was the final batter Yamamoto faced and he struck out looking on a ball up in the zone.
The Dodgers survive another Tanner Scott implosion to defeat the Giants 5-2 in 11 innings and take a 5 ½-game lead in the NL West heading into the All-Star break.
