ACTION on pitchers. #921 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Los Angeles Dodgers -115 over San Francisco Giants, Friday at 9:37 PM ET – The Giants have been hot but the Dodgers are even hotter. Riding the momentum of Wednesday's dramatic walk-off win in the Wild Card game, Los Angeles now is on an 8-game winning streak and flying high with confidence. The Giants have also been red hot of course and did win the NL West Division but the playoff experience of this Dodgers team is also an added edge especially in Game 1 of a series. The Giants are starting Logan Webb and he has had a fantastic season, particularly at home, but allowed 4 earned runs in his final start of the season and it was at home too. Webb does have solid long-term numbers versus the Dodgers but is only 1-2 in his decisions against them. Walker Buehler is a fantastic 7-1 in his career decisions against the Giants and, best of all, that lone loss was in his most recent start against them. Buehler had dominated the Giants, including this season, until things fell apart when he last faced them early last month. That will have Buehler especially locked in for this revenge rematch and he should resume the long-term dominance at San Francisco. In his final two starts of the regular season Buehler allowed just 1 earned run on only 6 hits in 12 innings while striking out 16. The Dodgers have won 14 of 19 post-season games the past two seasons combined. The Giants have not even been in the post-season since 2016. Based on recent current form we have the slight starting pitching edge here but even taking the starting pitching out of the equation, the team edge plus overall situational edge both (especially with post-season experience) are with the red hot road team in this one. We will grab the road team at a very fair small favorite price on the money line in this one and bet Los Angeles Dodgers -115
