San Francisco comes into this matchup on a one-game losing streak, but has won four of their last five games. In Wednesday’s 13-0 shutout loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, Justin Verlander started for the Giants and put in six innings of work. During his outing, Verlander surrendered seven hits and allowed two earned runs, but he didn’t issue any walks and managed to record seven strikeouts. Offensively, Heliot Ramos has been a standout performer for San Francisco this season. He currently leads the team with 14 home runs. Close behind him is Matt Chapman, who has hit 12 home runs so far, making him the Giants’ second-most prolific power hitter. When it comes to driving in runs, Wilmer Flores sits atop the team with 55 RBIs, making him the Giants’ RBI leader for the year. Ramos also leads all active Giants in batting average, hitting at a .269 clip this season. Over their last five games, San Francisco’s offense has produced an average of four runs per game, a figure in line with their season average of 4.2 runs per contest. The Giants are currently five games back of the Dodgers in the NL West standings. As San Francisco’s bats have started to heat up, they're hoping to make up ground and challenge their division rivals as the season progresses.
Los Angeles enters this game on a six-game losing streak. In Wednesday’s 3-2 extra-innings defeat against Milwaukee, Tyler Glasnow took the mound for the Dodgers and delivered a strong performance. Glasnow pitched five innings, surrendering just two hits and keeping the Brewers from scoring any earned runs. However, he issued three walks and managed to strike out five batters before leaving the game. At the plate, Shohei Ohtani has been the Dodgers’ leading power hitter this season, topping the team with 31 home runs. He is followed by rookie sensation Andy Pages, who has notched 17 home runs, making him the team’s second-best in that category. When it comes to driving in runs, both Ohtani and Pages share the team lead with 58 RBIs each, highlighting their ability to produce offense in key situations. Freddie Freeman remains one of the steadiest hitters for Los Angeles, leading the team with a .299 batting average—just a hair below the .300 mark. Defensively, however, the Dodgers have had some recent struggles, allowing an average of 5.2 runs over their last five games as they try to break out of a six-game losing streak. Despite this rough patch, the Dodgers have maintained a potent offense throughout the season, averaging 5.4 runs scored per game.
