The San Francisco team has shown strong performance in day games, with a batting average of .262, on-base percentage of .320, slugging percentage of .413, and OPS of .733, scoring an average of 4.9 runs per game. They have also demonstrated proficiency against left-handed pitchers, with a slash line of .261/.333/.413/.746. Facing Los Angeles' Suarez in a bullpen game, San Francisco can capitalize on scoring opportunities, especially considering the Angels' bullpen struggles, ranking as the worst in the American League and giving up the fourth-most home runs in MLB.

On the other hand, the Angels have a poor record of 6-16 in day games, with a slash line of .223/.287/.349/.636. Although they perform slightly better against left-handed pitchers, they may struggle against Harrison, who has shown efficiency in his recent start. With inconsistencies in their offense, averaging just 3.5 runs per game this month, it is prudent to bet on San Francisco to cover the run line in the upcoming game.
