MLB Preview SF Giants (34-37) at LA Dodgers (37-32) by entity wagering investment company mkinvestllc. Sunday, June 17 – First Pitch 4:10 PM EST. Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California.
The LA Dodgers are red hot heading into Sunday’s game closing a 3-game series with the SF Giants. The LA Dodgers will hit the road taking a Midwest/East Coast road trip next. The Dodgers are closing an 8-game home stand that has seen them go 6 – 1 before today’s game. The Dodgers have pulled to within a game and half of the Arizona Diamondbacks and have done so with a run against the Washington Nationals exactly a month ago on 5/17/2018. Heading into the Washington series the LA Dodgers were 2 – 9 in their last 11 games, got swept by Cincinnati, lost series to both San Diego and Miami. Looking back, we find the last time the LA Dodgers were listed as an underdog was the start of the Washington 3-game series where the Dodgers were +1.15, +1.93, and +1.20. They have not been an underdog since May 20th as they swept the Nationals and have not looked back the rest of May or June. Since May 19th the LA Dodgers are on a 20 – 6 run and are on a current 5 game winning streak. I don’t know about you but I am not about to step in front of this speeding train.
On the other side we find the SF Giants completing a 10-game road trip that has seen them go 3 – 6 to date and I am sure can’t wit to get home. Prior to this road trip the SF Giants were playing good ball at home winning 5 of 6 games sweeping the Philadelphia Phillies and winning the series against Colorado.
The Road Giants send Chris Stratton to mound who is 7-4 overall with an ERA of 4.56. On the road Stratton is 3-3 with an ERA of 3.86. Stratton has already faced the LA Dodgers 5 times in his career with the Giants going 2-3 in those 5 games. In those 5 games he has allowed 0,3,3,3, and 6 runs.
The home team LA Dodgers send lefty Caleb Ferguson to mound. There is a small pitching size sample for both starters today but less with Ferguson. He is 0-0 with and ERA of 9.53 overall and has gone just 5.2 innings allowing 7 hits and 6 runs. Prior to the call up Ferguson was 3-0 and had a combined ERA of a 1.53 over 10 starts in Double-A Tulsa and also Triple-A Oklahoma City.
