Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Rookie right-hander Kai-Wei Teng (2-4, 6.41 ERA) takes the mound for the Giants. Teng has struggled this season, and facing a potent Dodgers lineup could pose challenges for him again in this spot. Tyler Glasnow (3-3, 3.06 ERA) starts for the Dodgers. Glasnow has been impressive recently, with a 2.18 ERA over his last three starts, showcasing his ability to dominate opposing hitters. Glasnow will figure heavily into the pitching plans for the Dodgers in the postseason.
Key Players
For the Giants, third baseman Matt Chapman has been a consistent offensive threat. His power and ability to drive in runs make him a key player to watch. The Dodgers’ lineup boasts stars like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, both capable of changing the game with a single swing. They will likely cause headaches for Teng in this contest.
Recent Team Streaks
The Dodgers have clinched their 13th consecutive postseason berth, highlighting their consistent excellence over the years. They are also on the verge of securing their fourth consecutive National League West title, needing just four more wins or Padres losses to clinch the division. LA has won three games in a row coming into this contest. The Giants have dropped two in a row and four of their last five.

Final Thoughts
With a strong pitching performance from Tyler Glasnow and a potent lineup, the Dodgers are likely to secure a comfortable victory over the Giants. While the Giants have capable hitters like Matt Chapman, their overall performance down the stretch has been a huge disappointment. Betting on the Dodgers to cover the runline is my best bet for this NL West matchup.
