The Los Angeles Dodgers, with their shiny 15-6 record, are due for a visit to Oracle Park, where the San Francisco Giants are clinging to a 9-13 record and praying for a miracle. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers' ace right-hander with a 2-1 record and a stingy 2.10 ERA, will try to whip the Giants' bats into shape against Landen Roupp, who sports a respectable 3-1 record and a 2.38 ERA. Given the Dodgers' .289 batting average and the Giants' anemic .251 clip, it's clear who's bringing the heat - and it's not the Giants.
The real question is whether Roupp can tame the Dodgers' potent offense or if Yamamoto will outduel him. The Dodgers' pitching staff has been decent with a 3.44 ERA, while the Giants' staff has struggled to a 4.15 ERA. Injury reports aren't helping either side, with the Dodgers missing Brock Stewart and Landon Knack, and the Giants sidelining Sam Hentges and Joel Peguero.
