This season the Giants are 8-4 at home and the Dodgers are 6-6 on the road.
The reason the Dodgers are the road favorite tonight is that former Cy Young hurler Clayton Kershaw (3-2 1.73 ERA) is on the mound. He was stellar in his last start going 8 innings and not giving up any earned runs in a win over the Milwaukee Brewers.
Barry Zito (3-1 3.29 ERA) is off to a good start this season and in his last start he only went 3 innings giving up 1 earned run in a no-decision facing the San Diego Padres. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Giants’ offense has been much better this season than in the last few seasons, but only 3 players in their lineup with at least 6 at bats against Kershaw 10-1 in Zitos last 11 home starts. is hitting over .200.
Kershaw beat the Giants on opening day in a 4 hit shutout and in his last 17 starts facing them he is 9-4 with a 1.29 ERA.
Zito went 3-2 with a 2.64 ERA against the Dodgers last season and in 3 home starts facing L.A. his ERA was under 2.00.
The Dodgers’ offense has been struggling in the young season, as they only rank 29th in runs.
In some betting trends for this NL West match up the Dodgers are 4-1 in their last 5 games as a road favorite, 5-2 in Kershaw’s last 7 road starts, and they have an Over record of 5-1 in their last 6 games.
The Giants are 7-2 in their last 9 home games, 10-1 in Zito’s last 11 home starts, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.
Jason’s Pick: Hate to go against the Giants, as they are one of my teams, but with Kershaw on the mound I have to, as the Dodgers will win tonight.
