San Francisco Giants vs. New York Yankees (7:05 PM ET)

Line: San Francisco Giants (-110) at New York Yankees (EVEN); total: 7.0 – view all MLB lines

Things are going from bad to worse for the San Francisco Giants as they dropped their fifth consecutive game Wednesday with a gut-wrenching 11-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The Giants will look to get their season back on track when they take on the New York Yankees in their series opener tonight.

Pitching for San Francisco this evening is Madison Bumgarner (10-5, 2.12 ERA). The right-hander took the loss Friday at San Diego, surrendering four runs on seven hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out nine in that 4-1 loss to the Padres. Bumgarner will be making his first career appearance at Yankee Stadium tonight. The 2014 World Series MVP is 8-7 with a 3.75 ERA in 19 regular-season Interleague starts.

The Bronx Bombers, on the other hand, will have Masahiro Tanaka (7-2, 3.15 ERA) as their starting pitcher tonight. The Japanese star limited the Red Sox to three hits over six innings in New York’s 3-1 win on Sunday. The Yankees have won each of their last six games with Tanaka as their starter.

The Yankees are 4-2 in their last six home games against the Giants.

Writer’s Prediction

The Giants (-110) finally snap their five-game losing streak with a resounding 7-1 victory.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. St. Louis Cardinals (8:15 PM ET)

Line: Los Angeles Dodgers (-113) at St. Louis Cardinals (+103); total: 8.0 – view all MLB lines

The Los Angeles Dodgers returned to winning ways Thursday with an impressive 6-3 victory over the Washington Nationals. It was a terrific result for the injury-plagued Dodgers who handed Stephen Strasburg his first loss of the season. The Dodgers have now beaten the Nats in five of their six meetings this campaign.

They will look to sustain the momentum of that huge win when they take on the red-hot St. Louis Cardinals tonight. Pitching for the Dodgers in series opener is Brandon McCarthy (2-0, 1.69 ERA). He has been solid since returning from Tommy John surgery, allowing only three runs in 16 innings while striking out 22 in his last three outings. The Cardinals, on the other hand, will counter with Michael Wacha (5-7, 4.45 ERA). He struggled mightily in his last start against the Dodgers this season, allowing six runs on eight hits in just four innings of action.

The Cardinals are 8-2 in their last 10 home games against the Dodgers.

Writer’s Prediction

St. Louis (+103) wins, 6-3.
