LAD on the ML. (if you can't lay it, don't play it)
I'm going BIG on this game. Good luck buddies 
Here is a write-up that I found and that might help some of you decide wich way to go. Best of luck whichever way you go.
On Monday night, the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet in the National League Division Series at Dodger Stadium. San Francisco won Game 1 by a final score of 4-0, but Los Angeles rebounded with a statement win in Game 2 to tie the series. In Game 3, the Giants will send Alex Wood to the mound. He will be opposed by Max Scherzer. Wood was excellent in 2021 with a 3.83 ERA, 3.87 xERA, and a 3.48 FIP. Yet, he was less than stellar when pitching away from Oracle Park, delivering a 4.00 FIP and a 1.40 FIP across 55.2 innings of work on the road this year. He allowed an abundance of hard contact, which could be problematic against a strong Los Angeles lineup. Wood could struggle in Game 3 against a Dodgers offense that ranked 9th in OPS and 3rd in ISO against left-handed pitching during the regular season.
In 11 outings after the trade deadline, Scherzer was nearly unhittable with a 1.98 ERA and a 1.95 FIP. However, he allowed 10 runs in his final 2 starts in September and struggled once again in the National League Wild-Card Game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Scherzer has commented that he believes he found a mechanical flaw in the lower half of his delivery that he plans to correct before Monday’s action. If Scherzer has truly corrected his mechanics, it could be a long night for the San Francisco bats. Typically, bettors will not see one team be such a heavy favorite in an MLB playoff game. Nevertheless, the Dodgers are justifiably enormous favorites. Los Angeles has a tremendous starting pitching advantage, a better bullpen, and an equally dangerous offensive attack. After winning by 7 runs on Saturday, the Dodgers are more than capable of winning by 2 or more runs this evening.
