I get why the Dodgers would be favored in a lot of spots, as the Giants had had some issues in the last couple of weeks in terms of stringing wins together. However, I’m not laying juice in a spot with Andrew Heaney as my starter. Sure, he’s got nice numbers in his first couple of starts, but his last start came against Washington, four shutout innings, and I’m at a point where I could maybe throw a shutout inning against the Nats they’ve been that bad. We’re also getting plus money with a Giants team that’s starting Logan Webb here, the staff ace if you will, and a Giants team that RARELY loses with Webb on the hill at home. Since the start of the 2021 season, the Giants are 19-2 in Webb’s 21 home starts. Add in the fact that the home team has won all 9 meetings between these two teams so far, and I think all of the value is on the Giants to take the series opener on Monday. Give me the Giants here.
