Free Dodgers vs. Giants MLB Pick

Landon Knack is looking to build off a good outing on June 21st, where he went five innings and didn’t give up a run vs. the Angels. And on the other side, Logan Webb has been solid for the Giants and he’s gone at least six innings in every start since May 10th. For tonight’s game, I’m going with the experience of Webb and like the Giants to pick up a win over the rival Dodgers.
