None of that is a secret to the sportsbooks, and the number reflects a season-long gap that's been obvious for over a month. Los Angeles is priced like the club with everything to gain and San Francisco like the club just trying to get to the offseason.
San Francisco was mathematically eliminated from playoff contention over a week into September, and it's shown in how the roster has been managed since — reinforcements funneled elsewhere, injured regulars shut down rather than pushed to return. The Giants have at least won their last two games, taking two of the first three from the Cardinals before this trip, so it's not pure freefall.
The Dodgers have their own bumps — Blake Snell is day-to-day with a groin issue and Roki Sasaki is still building up in live bullpens rather than big-league starts — but Los Angeles has the depth to absorb it in a way San Francisco simply doesn't right now. Winning their last game and taking 3 of the first 4 from the Reds before this homestand, the Dodgers look like a club coasting toward its target rather than fighting for anything.

Glasnow's own last outing wasn't clean — 4 earned runs and 4 walks in 4 innings against Miami — a reminder he's still shaking rust off a long injury layoff rather than fully locked in. Perdomo's last time out was worse, chased after 4.2 innings and 10 hits against San Diego, and against a Dodgers lineup getting healthier by the week, there's little reason to expect a different script Saturday night.
