LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Dodgers look to capitalize on their early-season dominance when they host the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers (24-16) enter as the National League West leaders, riding a significant 16-24 record advantage over the visiting Giants. Los Angeles sends right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-2) to the mound, while San Francisco counters with righty Adrian Houser (0-4), who is still searching for his first win of the season.

Yamamoto has been a steady arm in the Dodgers’ rotation. Houser, meanwhile, will aim to reverse a rocky start that has contributed to the Giants’ struggles. San Francisco has lost six of its last 10 games, though it snapped a brief skid with a 7-6, 12-inning win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.

The Giants’ offense has found a spark in outfielder Heliot Ramos, who is 8-for-23 over his last five games with a home run and three RBIs. He went 2-for-6 with a homer and two RBIs in Sunday’s walk-off victory.

For Los Angeles, third baseman Max Muncy remains a key power threat despite a recent slump. He is 1-for-10 over his last three games but still leads the team with a .432 slugging percentage. Muncy homered and drove in two runs in the Dodgers’ 7-2 loss to Atlanta on Sunday, but Los Angeles has dropped two straight since a three-game sweep of Houston.

The series opener Monday ended in a scoreless tie, a game likely suspended or postponed. In their last completed meeting April 21-23 in San Francisco, the Giants won two of three, outscoring Los Angeles 6-4. The Giants took the series finale 3-0 behind strong pitching.

Tuesday’s matchup will test both lineups. The Interstat game simulator projects a 4-3 Dodgers victory. Los Angeles opened as a -1.5 run favorite, with an over/under of 8.5.

Following Tuesday’s contest, the teams meet twice more before a Dodgers- Angels interleague series begins Friday. The Giants travel to for a three-game set starting May 15.
