Since 2020, the Los Angeles are 42-25 against the San Francisco Giants. On Friday, San Francisco went against expectations by handing LA a 5-3 loss at Oracle Park.
The Dodgers still own a 5-2 record this season against the Giants, and will be looking to pull even on Saturday. Predictably, Shohei Ohtani is the hottest hitter for LA, and has hit .405/.536/1.1048 with 8 home runs and 17 RBIs over his past 12 games.

On Saturday, Tyler Glasnow will take the ball for Los Angeles. Since arriving to the Dodgers via an offseason trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, Glasnow has been incredible. Now 8-5 with a 2.88 ERA in 100 innings, Glasnow's 135 strikeouts continue to lead the entire MLB.
For the Giants, rookie Erik Miller will get the ball. Set to make his eighth start of the season, Miller is now 2-2 with a 3.79 ERA on the season. Miller will be making his very first start since May 1.
