This is a 9* on LA DODGERS

Without question, the most marquee series in the Divisional Round is between the Dodgers and Giants. Both teams won 106 regular season games with San Francisco finishing one ahead for first place in the NL West. The Giants have the home field advantage and have been an incredible story throughout 2021, eclipsing their projected win total by 34! But the Dodgers are the defending World Series Champs and still the favorite. They had baseball’s best run differential in the regular season. As for which team comes into the playoffs hotter, the Dodgers have won eight straight (including the Wild Card Game) and 18 of 21. The Giants, not to be outdone, are 20-5 in their L25 games. We simply feel the Dodgers are the team to beat. Does it not speak volumes that they come into Game 1 as slight favorites? Maybe that shouldn’t be a surprise at all, considering the Dodgers have been underdogs in only two games all year. Walker Buehler is 16-4 with the third best ERA in baseball and is 7-1 all-time vs. the Giants. He won twice this year here in San Francisco. Logan Webb hasn’t lost since May 5th for the Giants, but is a lot less proven compared to Buehler on this stage. Since we like the Dodgers in this series, it only makes sense to take them in Game 1.
