Alex Wood has been victimized by the long ball in his 3 starts versus the Dodgers this season. However, the weather forecast for Los Angeles this evening is extremely rare with predicted winds of 16-18 MPB blowing in from left centerfield. Otherwise, Wood compiled a respectable 1.35 WHIP over those 3 starts versus Los Angeles. The Giants lefthander has displayed good form throughout his previous 5 starts overall while posting a 2.95 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and registering 31 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings pitched. Furthermore, all 5 of those recent starts by Wood stayed under the total with opponents averaging a mere 1.6 runs scored per game.

Max Scherzer has gone an incredible 14-0 in his last 14 team starts this year with a superb 2.21 ERA. Scherzer has been brilliant throughout his illustrious career at postseason time. Yesterday was a travel day in this series. The Dodgers have played 16-7 to the under this season following an off day and their high-powered offense averaged only 3.8 runs scored per game in those outings. Bet this game to go under the total.
