PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Drew Pomeranz (2018: 2-6, 6.08 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Julio Urias (2018: 0-0, 0.00)

Pomeranz is hoping to bounce back following a disappointing season with Boston in which he battled control issues over 26 games (11 starts).

Urias missed most of last season while recovering from shoulder surgery but earned a rotation spot after posting a 1.72 ERA in six games (five starts) this spring.  We should note that LA is a -220 favorite here.
