Will Smith earned his 10th save as he allowed one hit with two strikeouts in one inning.
Turner has three-hit night

MLB Betting Trends
San Francisco
The under is 15-5-2 in the last 22 San Francisco road games. The Giants are 4-1 in their last five games.
Los Angeles
The Dodgers are 19-7 in their last 26 games during game three of a series. Los Angeles is 1-4 in its last five home games.
Prediction:
Ryu has been excellent when healthy for the Dodgers, but unfortunately that isn’t nearly often enough. He’s good to go tonight, however, and should limit a San Francisco offense that struggles to put up big numbers. Holland has exceeded expectations this season, but usually doesn’t completely mow down offenses especially those as good as LA’s. Take the home team here.
