MLB:Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants -by Jim Feist

Take: (911) LOS ANGELES DODGERS.
Reason: The Dodgers have their offense back in gear, ranked sixth in the NL in runs scored. The big problem for them has been quality starts, but Vicente Padilla goes here with good overall numbers: 36 hits, 8 walks in 34 innings pitched, 34 strikeouts. He faces a weak San Francisco offense that is 11th in runs scored, 12th in slugging. Jonathan O. Sanchez goes for the Giants, but the Dodgers have owned him, at 0-4 with a 5.95 ERA against LA. Play the Dodgers.
