As the betting odds remain unannounced, monitoring these as the game approaches will be crucial for bettors. Based on the teams’ current standings and recent performances, the Dodgers might be favored, but the Giants’ recent trend of high-scoring games could influence over/under bets.
Tyler Glasnow (8-5, 2.88 ERA) vs. Logan Webb (6-6, 3.16 ERA)
Tyler Glasnow is the starting pitcher of the Dodgers and right now he is performing incredibly well. Having an ERA of 2.88 and a whip of 0.87 in 100 innings pitched, his capability to reduce base runners and striking out hitters, 135 of them to be precise, is important. His mastery on the mound especially in delivering his fast ball and his breaking balls again puts the Dodgers in a good standing in this match up.
On the other side, Logan Webb for the Giants also comes with a good case. Taking Webb for instance, he had a record of 6-6 and a rather good ERA of 3.16 in a total of 105.1 innings; moreover, he has formidable control as shown by the measly (23) walks. His HR allowed of five are less than that of Glasnow’s 11, and this aspect will be particularly useful to him in this game.
Dodgers’ Dominance at the Plate
Offensively, the Dodgers have been up to the expectations with a team batting average of .257 and a slugging of .440. An aggressive ability is represented by 108 home runs and 401 runs scored, which proves that these teams have enough potential for scoring after getting a hit. A high on base percentage of .336 proven best in the league of course means that the Giants plate was well occupied and could have put pressure on the Giants pitcher throughout the match.
Giants’ Struggle and Spark
The Giants are rather weaker in offense than the Dodgers with . 246 batting average as well as 346 runs; however, the Giants also have their occasional powerful rises. This gives them a slugging of .384 and 77 home runs to collectively show that the team has had a little ‘stiff’ time in the power department than the Dodgers. However, their determination to grin and bear it, and ability to get on the bases, which an OBP of .317 demonstrates, indicate that they can really push the Dodgers to their limits if they capitalize on areas of the latter’s pitching that can be exploited.

With both teams showing tendencies towards high-scoring affairs and considering the pitchers’ profiles, a close but high-scoring game could be expected.
