AAA's 10* ESPN "ASSASSIN!" (SUNDAY NIGHT TOP PLAY!)
(MLB) San Francisco vs. LA Dodgers,

Result: Loss
Money Line: 140.00 San Francisco (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the San Francisco Giants.
LA has won seven straight and eight of its last ten, but we think it'll have a letdown here against Giants' ace Madison Bumgarner, who comes in off his first win of the year.
Bumgarner: He's 1-4 with a 3.38 ERA. In 2016 Bumgarner was 15-9 with a 2.74 ERA, including 9-4 with a 2.14 ERA at home. He returned from injury and looked shaky over his first two starts, but last Tuesday he finally recorded his first victory of the season by allowing one run while striking out four over five innings.
Hyun Jin Ryu: He's 3-6 with a 4.17 ERA. Ryu gave up two runs off five hits with three walks over five innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Monday. Note that he's just 2-2 with a pedestrian 4.10 ERA at home this season.
The bottom line: With a night off before a series against the lowly Braves, there's no question that this one sets up as a bit of a trap for LA. Conversely, the Giants will be hungry to get back into the winners circle after dropping the first two games of this series and definitely won't be "looking past" anything tonight, with a home and home set starting in Oakland tomorrow night. All signs point to a letdown for the home side, play on the GIANTS.
