Rivalry Page: Dodgers vs Giants
Result: -1.50 units
Los Angeles Dodgers (122) over San Francisco Giants (1.5 Units) - After going 13-0 at home and setting record after record, the Dodgers went on to lose their next two home games with Manny being suspended. But they have since recuperated and shut out those Giants yesterday...
Now in a 3-game series tied 1-1, the third game becomes kind of more important... in that the winner of the game, wins the series. So the benefit, as a whole, according to our statistics is the winner of game 2 benefits.
But the Dodgers are also in all sorts of other positive scenarios we love to bet on.. most important of all is the fact that they are a home dog against a divisional rival.
With yesterday's win, the Dodgers can now forget the fact that they have lost Manny for another 47 games. They can begin to play their games the way they know how. And we expect that these Dodgers will play much better than the +122 they are getting here today.
Home divisional rival dogs off a win in game 3 of a series tied 1-1 are +15 units the past 3 seasons. Take this game action regardless of pitcher.
