Pitching Match-Up

L.A.: Kenta Maeda (2-1 3.10 ERA)
San Francisco: Ty Blatch (1-3 4.31 ERA)

In Maeda’s last start he was solid giving up one earned run on four hits over six innings pitched, but he did not get much help from his teammates bats in a 3-2 loss to the Miami Marlins. He has faced the Giants twice this season picking up the win in his season debut throwing five scoreless innings in a 5-0 win and added an inning in relief in a 7-5 Dodgers loss. In seven career appearances, including six starts, against the Giants, Maeda is 4-1 with an ERA of 4.40.

In Blatch’s last start he gave up three earned runs on four hits over five innings of work for a no-decision in a 4-3 Giants win over the Nationals. The Giants had lost his previous four starts where he totaled 21 innings and gave up 12 earned runs. Blatch has already had two starts against the Dodgers this season, where the Giants are 1-1, and he gave up one earned run in 11 innings of work. In nine career appearances, including six starts, against the Dodgers, he is 3-2 with a solid ERA of 1.90.

Dodgers at Giants Prediction 4/29/18

This is a game that I could make an argument for either team to get the money, but I do believe that the Giants hold a small edge. San Francisco starter Ty Blach has started against the Dodgers six times in his career including four at home where he has recorded three quality starts not allowing more than two runs in any of the four. The Dodgers weakness is against left-handed pitching scoring 1.91 fewer runs per nine innings when compared to their numbers against righties. LAD starter Kenta Maeda pitched well at home earlier this season against the Giants throwing five scoreless innings, but he was rocked in his only career starts in San Francisco. I’ll take the value here.
