forecast
Giants 5, Dodgers 3
Money line (ML)
Light “LEAN” to the GIANT (+145) for a quarter unit because that game is so expensive as if Kershaw is far better than Gausman when in reality these starters are pretty comparable and Gausman has the better season, if any.
In fact, Gausman has better FIP and xFIP than Kershaw, and the San Francisco lineup is almost as tough for left-handed people as it is for LA right-handed people.

Run line / Against the Spread (ATS)
“LEAN” to the GIANTS +0.5 (-105) FIRST 5 INNINGS for a three-quarter unit because Gausman has a career season and I want to avoid the late innings as both bullpens are patchy.
For example, 8 of Gausman’s 10 games were quality starts, 4 of which were against the tough lineups of the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds.
Also, I want to limit my handicap to the first 5 innings because while the Dodgers can lead the majors in blown saves at 14, the Giants are runner-up at 13.
Over / Under (O / U)
CONSIST With a slight bias to OVER 7.5 (+100) because the Giants have a 12-7 O / U record as a street dog, the Dodgers are 13-11-1 O / U as a home favorite and they are 7-4 O / U in Kershaw starts.
