<\/a>San Francisco has won the first two games of this series against Los Angeles, including a 3-1 victory as -127 road favorites Friday, while going UNDER the betting total in each of those affairs.\u00a0 The Giants will be playing without first baseman Brandon Belt for the next six weeks\u2014suffering a broken left thumb last night\u2014a major injury for the dlub due to ranking among NL leaders with nine home runs.\u00a0 San Francisco is 1-3 as road underdogs of +125 to +150 this season, with the UNDEr going 2-1-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n
Giants starting pitcher Matt Cain (0-3, 4.35 ERA) comes off the disabled list after slicing his pitching hand a couple weeks ago, with the club dropping four of his five outings this season.\u00a0 The right-hander is 0-2 with a 5.25 ERA in four road games\u2014surrendering five home runs in 24 combined frames.\u00a0 In 29 career starts versus the Dodgers, Cain has compiled a 5-11 record and 3.58 ERA, including a 2-3 mark and 3.00 ERA in 14 appearances at this ballpark.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles has dropped three games in a row, with each of those affairs falling short of the betting total.\u00a0 Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is 1 for 27 at the plate in his last seven games, but outfielder Yasiel Puig is batting .405 over a nine-game hitting streak.\u00a0 Puig is 3 for 8 with a home run and two doubles lifetime against Cain.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 2-3 as home favorites of -125 to -150 this season, with no clear edge in terms of the total (2-2-1 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n
Dodgers starting pitcher Zack Greinke (5-1, 2.35 ERA) is coming off a 4-0 road defeat to the Washington Nationals last time out, as he allowed two runs and five hits over three innings of work.\u00a0 The right-hander is 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA in three home appearances\u2014issuing three walks and striking out 27 batters in 19 combined frames.\u00a0 In three lifetime efforts against the Giants, Greinke has tallied a 1-0 record and 3.12 ERA.<\/p>\n
Sports bettors will likely back the Dodgers due to their 21-7 record in Greinke\u2019s last 28 starts as a favorite.<\/p>\n
