Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction: Expect a close outcome here

On Friday, the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, for the first game of a four-game series that will be played in the National League West.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the reigning champions of the National League West and come into this series on the heels of a good performance against the Detroit Tigers. Heading into Wednesday's series finale, the Dodgers have a record of 93-57 and are looking to complete the series sweep. Mookie Betts is in the lead for the Los Angeles Dodgers with 39 home runs and 103 RBIs as of Wednesday, while Max Muncy is right behind him with 35 home runs of his own and 101 RBIs. This season, J.D. Martinez has hit 29 home runs and driven in 92 runs, while Freddie Freeman has a.336 batting average, a.414 on-base percentage, 198 hits, 93 RBIs, a.414 on-base percentage, 26 home runs, 56 doubles, and a.414 on-base plus-slugging percentage. Emmet Sheehan, who has a record of 3-1 with a 5.44 earned run average and 45 strikeouts so far this season, will receive the start for the Los Angeles Dodgers in this game.

After suffering a 7-1 defeat in the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, the San Francisco Giants come into this matchup having been on the losing end of a two-game sweep over their rivals. The Giants finished the season with a record of 76-76 after the loss, which put them three games behind in the race for the National League Wild Card. Wilmer Flores is in the lead for the Giants with 22 home runs this season, while J.D. Davis is in second place with 18 home runs, and Michael Conforto is in third place with 15 home runs. Davis also has 116 hits and a team-high 69 RBIs. Michael Conforto is in fourth place with 15 home runs. This season, Conforto has driven in 56 runs, while LaMonte Wade Jr. has a batting average of.263 and an on-base percentage of.377. This season, Thairo Estrada has a team-high 127 hits and a batting average of.279 with the San Francisco Giants. This will be Kyle Harrison's first start of the season. He currently has a 1-1 record, a 5.18 earned run average, and 29 strikeouts.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently the team that I have my eye on as a potential pick. The Los Angeles Dodgers are clearly the better club right now, and the San Francisco Giants continue to find ways to lose baseball games right now, despite the fact that I have a lot of respect for Kyle Harrison and believe he will be an excellent arm for San Francisco's future. The Dodgers are still attempting to catch up to the Atlanta Braves in the race for the top record in the National League. Until such time as this endeavor can no longer be accomplished, I anticipate the Los Angeles Dodgers to maintain their lead in the National League. Therefore, I am confidently backing the Los Angeles Dodgers.
