The Los Angeles Dodgers (83-65) visit the San Francisco Giants (75-73) in a crucial late-season MLB matchup. The Dodgers won the previous encounter 13-7 and will be starting Tyler Glasnow, who has a solid track record against the Giants. San Francisco's Robbie Ray will start and has been effective at home but less dominant against the Dodgers recently.
Key Factors to Consider
Dodgers show stronger season record and recent form with a key win in the prior matchup. Giants have performed well against right-handed pitching but have a slightly worse overall record.
Glasnow is 3-1 with a 3.81 ERA in his last five starts vs Giants; Ray is 2-1 with a 4.73 ERA vs Dodgers in five starts. Dodgers won the last game in the series decisively.
No major injuries reported for either team impacting starting pitchers or key bats as of game day.
Game played at Oracle Park, a pitcher-friendly venue, which may suppress overall scoring. Bullpens on both teams are questionable and could impact late innings.
Dodgers seek to strengthen playoff positioning and follow up on recent win; Giants are fighting for playoff contention with lower margin for error.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, having a strong 81-64 record, host the struggling Colorado Rockies, who have a 40-105 record. The Dodgers' pitching and hitting depth combined with home advantage and recent form heavily favor them over the Rockies.
Key Factors to Consider
Dodgers show solid season stats with an 81-64 record, strong pitching (4.06 ERA) and hitting (.251 AVG, .328 OBP, .436 SLG), while Rockies suffer with one of the worst records (40-105), poor pitching (6.01 ERA) and weaker offense (.240 AVG, .297 OBP, .392 SLG). Dodgers have a 3-game winning streak and dominant home performance (47-26).
Recent head-to-head favors Dodgers significantly with multiple wins and dominant scoring (7-2, 3-1 wins). Dodgers starters like Blake Snell have strong numbers against Rockies' Kyle Freeland, who struggles in these matchups.
No significant injuries reported for either team affecting starting pitchers or key hitters; both starters, Snell (Dodgers) and Freeland (Rockies), are confirmed starters.
Game at Dodger Stadium favors Dodgers due to altitude and park factors disadvantaging Rockies pitchers. Weather and other extraneous factors appear neutral.
Dodgers motivated for a playoff push and maintaining form against weaker opposition. Rockies are demoralized by a long losing season and recent losing streak, with less incentive.
