#971/972 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 7 Runs – Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Francisco Giants, Thursday at 9:07 PM ET – NOTE: Corey Knebel now starting for LA but only as an opener. Urias will get the bulk of the work per all reports we have seen. We like action with this play no matter which pitcher starts. The Dodgers pitching has been fantastic as they have allowed only 2.3 runs per game in the last 7 games. The Giants are certainly in line for strong pitching in this one as well with Logan Webb going 7-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his 13 home starts this season. 10 of those 13 starts resulted in an under! The Dodgers Julio Urias is 14-2 with a 2.67 ERA in his road starts this season! Urias enters this start in top form with a 1.10 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Giants Webb has a 1.83 ERA in his last 3 starts overall. Also, against the Dodgers, Webb has allowed a total of only 3 earned runs in last 3 starts facing them. Urias, against the Giants, has also allowed a total of only 3 earned runs in his last 3 starts facing them. Both these guys started earlier in the series and were great. With playoff pressure at its highest in this winner-takes-all Game 5, look for both lineups to struggle at the plate. Before the Dodgers big Game 4 win, they had been held to 3 or less runs in 3 of 4 games. The Giants have averaged only 2.2 runs in this series thus far! Look for both the righty Webb and the lefty Urias to come up big here and the bullpens are in good shape too considering the off day yesterday. That being said, after Tuesday's game reached the over because of the Dodgers having a huge game at the plate, look for this one to be a tight game throughout with runs at a premium. Per our computer math model, this game lands around 4 to 5 runs and even if it reaches 6 that is still a winning ticket based on the 7 that is posted at most books as of mid-day Thursday. We like the odds being in our favor for a well-pitched affair in this one! Bet the UNDER
