Giants -128 (5 Dimes) to win 1 Unit
This number seems low to me given a few aspects of this game. The oddsmakers seem to be stubborn on adjusting to the Dodgers post-all star break. Since July 23rd the Dodgers are just 22-24 yet they are still getting the prices of the dominant team they were pre-all star break. Lets not forget the Giants 45-23 home record this year. Matt Cain taking the hill for the Giants and he is pitching well. In his last 5 starts the Giants are 4-1 and he has thrown 35.1 innings giving up 11 ER, 22 K's, and 9 BB's. The Giants are 20-8 in his 28 starts this year and 12-2 in his 14 home starts this year. The Dodgers counter with Hiroki Kuroda who is still trying to get back into form after missing time after being drilled in the head by a liner in Arizona. The Giants need this game to keep pace with the Rockies and this is a good spot to pick up a W.
Giants 5, Dodgers 2
Angels -139 (5 Dimes) to win 1 Unit
Really don't get the price. Angels still undervalued here, a 43-26 home record coming off a sweep in a division series against the Mariners. White Sox much different team away from home, just 30-39. Joe Saunders on the hill for the Angels and since coming off of the DL he has been much better. In 3 starts since his DL stint he is 3-0 going 17.1 innings giving up just 4 ER. Gavin Floyd goes for the Sox and he is a different guy away from home. Look at his road splits: 5-6, 94 IP, and an ERA of 5.17.
Angels 6, White Sox 4
