The Giants and Dodgers meet for the 2nd game of a 3-game set and the Dodgers are looking to get the sweep tonight after winning the first 2 games of the series.

They have extended their lead in the NL West, as they now are 5.5 games up on the Giants.

Time is running out for the defending champion Giants, as they are not only 5.5 games out of first place in the NL West, but 6.5 games back of the last NL Wild Card spot.

The Giants will try to avoid the sweep tonight with Mike Leake on the hill, but they are HUGE road betting favorites and that is no surprise since L.A. has reigning MVP and Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw on the hill.

San Francisco Giants

The Giants have lost 4 straight and 7 of their last 10 games.

In Leake’s last start the Giants got their first win with him on the hill since coming over in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds.

San Francisco had lost his first 2 starts with the club and while they won in his last start it was his worst one going 6 innings and giving up 4 earned runs in a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Leake has not lasted past the 6th inning in any of his 3 starts for San Francisco.

The Giants have only won 3 of their last 10 games facing the Dodgers in L.A.

L.A. Dodgers

Kershaw ranks 3rd in the NL in ERA and the Dodgers won in his last outing after losing in his previous 2 starts. However, it was not his fault and he has only given up 1 earned run in each of his last 3 starts.

Kershaw will be facing a Giants’ offense that ranks 12th in the Majors in runs scored.

The Dodgers are 50-22 in Kershaw’s last 72 home starts.

The Dodgers have lost both of their games this season facing the Giants with Kershaw on the mound, but he has not faced them since May 21st.
