Just got back from a long day at work. So the only team I bet on was LAD ML. And that looks like LAD will lose.

Go I'm jumping on SF ML, when was it that LAD and SF lost on the same day?

On Friday evening, the Atlanta Braves and the San Francisco Giants will begin a 3-game set at Oracle Park. Entering play, Atlanta is 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Giants have won 9 of their last 11 contests. In the series opener, the starting pitching matchup will feature Ian Anderson for the Braves against Logan Webb. After a sensational rookie campaign in 2020, Anderson has been slightly disappointing in 2021 with a 3.61 ERA, 4.35 xERA, and a 3.95 FIP. In 3 starts since returning from the injured list in late August, Anderson owns a 3.95 ERA and a 6.46 FIP. In those 3 outings, he is nearly walking more batters than he is striking out. He has posted a 14.5 strikeout percentage against a 12.9% walk-rate in this span. Anderson could struggle in this one against a San Francisco lineup that ranks second in OPS and ISO over the last 14 days. The Giants offense also has baseball’s best walk-rate and a miniscule 20.9% strikeout-rate since the beginning of September.

The 2021 campaign has been Webb’s coming out party. After years of hearing about his tantalizing potential, he has retooled his approach this year to feature more of his slider and less of his fastball. The results have been outstanding. Since returning from the injured list in mid-July, he owns a 2.12 ERA and a 2.64 FIP across 13 starts. He is striking out 26.3% of opposing hitters against a 5.1% walk-rate. Bettors should expect another strong outing from him this evening, even against a strong Atlanta lineup that ranks 10th in OPS and fourth in ISO over the last two weeks. In this matchup, San Francisco has the starting pitching advantage. The Giants also have the better offense and the better bullpen. It is not often that a team has the advantage in all facets of the game, and is priced at plus-money on the -1.5 run line. Bettors should seize the opportunity to back the best team in baseball tonight at a favorable market price.

That's for those who like to read like me. Good luck guys. clover I'm still taking SF on the moneyline.

Walker Buehler is out of the game after only 6 innings. Luis Castillo has also departed after 6 and a third shutout innings and a season high 111 pitches. Castillo was great tonight as expected with my only nitpick being that he fooled around twice with automatic out Cody Bellinger and once with Buehler. He actually had Buehler down 0 and 2 in the top of the 4th and then walked him! Other than that, the Dodgers couldn&#x2019;t do much against the 98mph &#x201C;heata!&#x201D;

MrBator · Answer

Castillo&#x2019;s replacement gave up towering deep fly balls to pinch-hitter Chris Taylor and Mookie Betts. Both baseballs eventually returned to Earth and were caught a couple feet in front of the wall. It might not be the Dodgers&#x2019; night, but they still have two more chances.

Magiccarpetride, riding with big boy Logan Webb following back-to-back home losses sounds like a good idea. I&#x2019;ve been watching him closely for the past month and he is nasty, tough, and ruthless. He blanked the Braves in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Let&#x2019;s see if they&#x2019;ve figured him out at all. Doubt it!
