Giants vs. Dodgers Best MLB Prop Bets

Dodgers Best MLB Prop Bet

  • Clayton Kershaw OVER 14.5 Outs (-174)

We’re dealing with a lot of juice here for this prop, but it’s worth it.

Kershaw has been stellar this season, as shown by his 10-2 record and 3.53 ERA. He’s been even better at home, going 5-0 while tossing 48 innings in nine starts, as opposed to 5-2 with 54 innings in 11 road starts.

With this being Kershaw’s final home start of the regular season, you have to think that Dave Roberts and the Dodgers will give him a longer leash to get through five innings, especially if they have a lead.

The veteran southpaw has gone at least five innings in 13 of 20 starts this season, including six of nine starts at home. In his last three starts at Dodger Stadium, Kershaw has allowed a total of three runs in 17 innings.

Giants vs. Dodgers Prediction and Pick

The Dodgers are still trying to hold off the Padres in the NL West as we enter the final stages of the season. They’ve been tremendous at home this season, going 50-28 as opposed to 36-39 on the road, and the Giants are two games under .500 on the road at 38-40.

Los Angeles has been fine against southpaws like Robbie Ray this season, going 23-23 vs. LHP. Meanwhile, the Giants have feasted on RHP (60-50) while going 16-27 against southpaws.

The Giants have lost five of their last six games, including three of four to the Dodgers. That should continue tonight.

Pick: Dodgers moneyline (-171)
