The Giants and Dodgers will kick off a series on Friday

Friday will mark the beginning of the third series of the year between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants. With the Dodgers twelve games ahead of the Giants in the NL West standings, LA has dominated San Francisco in their six meetings thus far and owns a 5-1 record against their divisional foes this season.

In June, Dodgers pitchers have tossed to a combined 3.09 ERA, which is the lowest value in MLB. Moreover, Los Angeles recently completed a sweep against the White Sox and now lay claim to a four-game winning streak.

For the Giants, the four-game series in Los Angeles will kick off what observers have branded a "grueling stretch." Following the culmination of the series on Sunday, manager Bob Melvin's team will fly to Atlanta to take on the Braves, followed by a trip to play the Cleveland Guardians before returning home.

For the Dodgers, rookie right-hander Landon Knack will be making his sixth start of the season. Knack, 26, tossed five shutout innings in his last outing against the Los Angeles Angels and is now 1-1 with a 2.10 ERA this year. San Francisco will be sending Logan Webb to the mound. The veteran right-hander is 6-6 with a 3.16 ERA.

Dodgers vs. Giants Prediction

Having just taken three out of four games off of the Chicago Cubs, the Giants are riding high. However, the Dodgers are particularly apt at downing the Giants and have done so consistently this season.

Even without Mookie Betts, sidelined with a fractured wrist, the Dodgers are still producing. For instance, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman are hitting .419 and .304 over the past fortnight, combining for 11 home runs and 26 RBIs during that span.

Prediction: LA Dodgers -1.5 (150)
