The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants wrap up their three-game series at Oracle Park this afternoon after splitting the first two contests.

Game one was a pitchers’ duel between Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Justin Verlander, while Saturday turned into a slugfest. The Dodgers prevailed 13-7 as both starters struggled.

Clayton Kershaw lasted just three innings, allowing four runs with four walks, while Logan Webb was tagged for six runs and ten hits over four frames. Los Angeles piled on another seven runs against the Giants’ bullpen to seal the win.

Shohei Ohtani led the barrage with his 49th home run of the season, a third-inning blast off Webb. He now sits just one shy of his second consecutive 50-homer campaign.

The Giants, meanwhile, slipped eight games behind the Dodgers in the NL West with the loss. They had briefly edged ahead of the New York Mets for the final Wild Card spot by .0002 percentage points, but the setback dropped them back to a half-game deficit. Still, San Francisco remains firmly in the playoff race given their September surge and New York’s collapse.

Robbie Ray gets the ball for the Giants. The veteran left-hander is 11-6 with a 3.32 ERA but has been uneven lately, carrying a 5.02 ERA across his past seven starts. Despite recent struggles, he’s had success against the Dodgers this season, holding them to two runs over six innings in July.

Tyler Glasnow starts for Los Angeles. The right-hander is 2-3 with a 3.21 ERA and has been steady since returning from the IL, with only two rough outings. In his most recent start, he fired seven no-hit innings against Colorado before being lifted.

Prediction

Tyler Glasnow’s recent dominance, including seven no-hit innings in his last start, gives the Dodgers a clear edge. Robbie Ray has been shaky as of late, and another short outing could leave the Giants’ bullpen exposed.

Prediction: Dodgers 5, Giants 3
