LA Dodgers at San Francisco
Barry Zito's first outing of the season resembled the Giants' first week -- rough. Zito allowed three runs in five innings of work as he took the opening day loss (7-0) against the Padres. Few things have gone right for San Francisco since then as the Giants have dropped four of their first five, including the first two games of the current series with the Dodgers. Overall L.A. has now won seven straight at AT&T Park and looks like a good underdog pick (+140) in this one accrding to Dunkel, which has the Dodgers favored by 2. Dunkel Pick: LA Dodgers (+140). Here are all of today's games.
