The Los Angeles Dodgers are playing for the first time this season while the San Francisco Giants are coming off a loss. The Dodgers are coming off a win in their previous game, while the Giants are looking to get back on track from a loss to the Giants. First pitch is set for 10:10 ET.
Giants vs Dodgers
The last game of this Giants vs. Dodgers series was a close one, with the Dodgers pulling out a 5-4 win at home. Despite finishing with the same number of hits and home runs, the Dodgers were able to do enough to get the win.
Mookie Betts led the Dodgers’ offense with a home run and two runs scored, while Freddie Freeman and Enrique Hernandez each drove in two runs. On the other side, both Jorge Soler and Michael Conforto went deep for the Giants.
Ryan Yarbrough got the win for the Dodgers out of the bullpen, while Evan Phillips picked up the save. As for the starters, Logan Webb took the loss for the Giants, while Ryan Brasier got the start for the Dodgers but went just one inning.
Kyle Harrison Gets The Start For The Giants
Kyle Harrison is set to make his second start of the season for the San Francisco Giants on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In his first outing, Harrison picked up the win against the Padres, going six innings and allowing two earned runs on six hits. He’ll look to build on that performance and help the Giants secure another victory.

When looking at the Giants’ offensive projections, we see that Mike Yastrzemski is not only projected to have the most hits on the team, but his total is 25th best in the league today. His home run projection is also the best on the team and 10th best in the league. If you’re looking for a long shot to hit a home run, Thairo Estrada is 20th in the league in terms of home run projections. Jorge Soler is 12th in terms of overall home run projections today.
Tyler Glasnow Gets The Start For The Dodgers
