The Dodgers-Giants rivalry continues as Los Angeles (league-leading record) faces San Francisco in the second game of their four-game series at Oracle Park. After taking the opener 8-2, the Dodgers aim to extend their 18.5-game division lead over the Wild Card-hopeful Giants.

Pitching Matchup:

• Dodgers: Tyler Anderson (11-1, 2.61 ERA)
• Giants: Alex Wood (7-8, 4.11 ERA)

Anderson has been dominant this season, allowing less than one baserunner per inning across 110+ innings. Wood, while posting less impressive numbers, remains capable of delivering strong individual performances.

Keys to Victory:

• Dodgers need their bullpen to maintain leads after recent struggles against Washington
• Giants must keep the game close early through Wood's start to have a chance late
• San Francisco's offense needs to capitalize against LA's sometimes vulnerable relief pitching

The opener saw Los Angeles' offense dominate, with the Giants' Logan Webb surrendering 6 earned runs. San Francisco looks to even the series at home against their longtime division rivals.
