San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers

LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Dodgers will look to extend their recent dominance over their archrivals and solidify their playoff positioning when they host the San Francisco Giants on Sunday evening at Dodger Stadium.

The National League West rivals conclude a three-game set, with the Dodgers (87-67) having taken the first two contests. Los Angeles edged the Giants 2-1 on Thursday and followed with a 6-3 victory on Friday. Saturday afternoon’s contest was not included in the provided information.

Los Angeles has controlled the season series, winning nine of the last 12 meetings, including a four-game sweep at Oracle Park from Sept. 12-14. The Dodgers have outscored the Giants 64-41 over their 15 matchups this season.

The Dodgers enter the finale playing strong baseball, having won seven of their last 10 games as they jockey for seeding in the NL playoff picture. Shohei Ohtani and Miguel Rojas provided the power in Friday’s win, each homering to back a solid start from Clayton Kershaw.

Conversely, the Giants (76-78) have struggled against the top of the league and have dropped four of their last five games. Their offense was stifled in the series’ first two games, managing just one run on Thursday before a slightly better output on Friday. Starter Robbie Ray took the loss in that game, surrendering five earned runs over 4 2/3 innings.

According to a projection from Interstat, the Dodgers are favored to complete the series sweep, with a simulated final score of 7-4.

Following the game, the Giants return home to begin a final homestand against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. The Dodgers enjoy an off-day before traveling to Arizona to open a crucial three-game series with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
