Giants vs. Dodgers Probable Pitchers
- San Francisco: Landen Roupp (5-3, 3.09 ERA)
- Los Angeles: Emmet Sheehan (2-1, 4.79 ERA)
Landen Roupp has been solid on the mound for the Giants this season. He’s coming off two short starts, though, going a total of 8.1 innings with five runs allowed on 11 hits against the Rays and Pirates. However, Roupp was strong in his start against the Dodgers last month, allowing just one run on one hit with five walks and seven strikeouts in five innings of work.
Emmet Sheehan has also failed to pitch five complete innings in either of his last two starts. Before that, he racked up 10 strikeouts in 6.1 innings with 4 hits and 1 ER against the Cubs. He made one start against the Giants last season, allowing just one hit with no walks and 10 strikeouts in seven shutout innings on September 21.

Giants Best MLB Prop Bet
- Landen Roupp OVER 5.5 Strikeouts (+122)
Landen Roupp has always had some strikeout stuff, racking up 149 punchouts in 157 innings of work in his first two MLB seasons. He’s now up to 51 strikeouts through 43.2 innings this season.
Roupp has gone OVER 5.5 strikeouts in seven of eight starts this season, including in each of his last five outings. Of course, he had those seven strikeouts in just five innings against the Dodgers last month.
Giants vs. Dodgers Prediction and Pick
The Giants have fared well against the Dodgers this season despite the NL West rivals having opposite records. I’m going to back them again tonight as road underdogs in Los Angeles.
I’m a bit more confident in Roupp than I am in Sheehan on the mound, and the Giants have played up to their competition against the Dodgers this season.
Give me the Giants as underdogs to take three out of four in Los Angeles.
Pick: Giants +149
