Shoutout: On Friday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of Dodgers-Giants, the final score, and the combined strikeouts of starters Trevor Bauer and Alex Wood. Los Angeles won 2-1, and the pair combined for 18 Ks.

Subscriber Tim Maher (@glenayrfarm) had the Dodgers winning and was closest to the score. Nice job, Tim!
