Dodgers vs. Giants

BEST BET: Giants at the moneyline with BetMGM (-105)

We've been riding with the Giants for a long time at Dimers and the situation could not be better for them to advance past LA in Game 5 at home.

Logan Webb will be on the bump for San Francisco, coming off a dominating Game 1 performance where he pitched 7.2 innings for ten Ks and no runs. Webb has won all four starts against the Dodgers this year, taking care of the powerful LA hitters, giving up only four runs in 23 innings. He will be the difference maker here.

BEST PROP: Buster Posey to hit a home run with BetMGM (+600)

Julio Urias is pitching for the Dodgers, and he has had an indifferent year against the Giants, going 3-3 in starts against them this season. The Dodgers ace has given up runs in each of those games, including in May where he coughed up six of them. One of the best performed hitters against Urias for the Giants is Buster Posey, making his home run prop an attractive proposition. The SF slugger is .500 from 18 career plate appearances, which is a significant sample size. The value here is too good to pass up.
