What We Know So Far About The Dodgers vs. Giants Game 1?
Recently, Dodgers slugger Max Muncy reignited the fire by calling the Giants their “only rival,” brushing aside the San Diego Padres despite last year’s postseason drama.
The numbers back it up. L.A. and San Francisco have faced off over 2,563 times, with the Giants holding a narrow all-time lead. But since 2020, the Dodgers have dominated the matchup, winning over 60% of their head-to-head games.
For the hosts, Freddie Freeman is locked in with a .347 average and a .417 OBP, while Shohei Ohtani has blasted 23 homers already this season.
For the Giants, Camilo Doval just notched his 100th career save and is one of the league’s top closers when protecting a lead. If Webb hands him a one-run game, expect fireworks in the 9th.
