Welcome to another Friday edition of MLB Best Bets. Below, we’ll focus in on Game 1 of a divisional weekend series between two California rivals, the Giants and Dodgers, in in Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
San Francisco Giants @ Los Angeles Dodgers
These teams enter only separated by 3 games in the division standings as the Dodgers hold on to second place, with the Giants in third. In other words, this series will be important for both ball clubs.
With this matchup being high priority, it’s only right we take a shot on a prop from “Mr. Consistent” in the Dodgers lineup, Freddie Freeman. John Brebbia will get the start for San Francisco, which should be music to Freeman’s ears. Freddie enters with a career .714/.778/1.429 slash line against Brebbia in 9 plate appearances (7 at bats) appearances with 2 singles, 2 doubles and a home run.
Best Bet
Freddie Freeman over 1.5 Hits, Runs, RBIs (-135, DraftKings Sportsbook) — 2-Unit Wager
Freeman is once again having a successful season at the plate against RHP, entering with a .326 average against righties this season. Freeman has had at least 2 combined hits, runs and RBIs in seven of his last 10 games and has also hit this number in a whopping 14 out of 22 games against the Giants dating back to last season. Let’s back the red-hot Freeman to kick the weekend off right.
