San Francisco vs Los Angeles Stats

San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants dominated the Los Angeles Dodgers last Friday, out-hitting them 10-2 and earning their eighth win in the last nine games. Casey Schmitt hit his first career grand slam, Willy Adames added a solo home run, and Logan Webb delivered a strong pitching performance. During their recent hot streak, the Giants have scored 50 runs and have been performing well both offensively and defensively. Kyle Harrison is set to pitch in their upcoming game against the Dodgers, with a mixed record against the team in previous matchups. With a power ranking of 16, the Giants have a strong offense and defense, and a 41-29 record for the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers Analysis

The Los Angeles Dodgers struggled offensively last Friday, only managing two hits and four walks in the game. Teoscar Hernandez hit a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh, but it wasn't enough as the Dodgers have been facing offensive challenges this month. The team has dropped seven of their first 12 games in June, scoring 43 runs with a .231/.299/.371 slash line. The bullpen has a 4.02 ERA with three saves. Dustin May is set to start on Sunday, with a 3-4 record and a 4.46 ERA this season. Despite a rough outing last Monday, he has had success against the Giants in the past. The Dodgers have an offense ranking of 1, defense ranking of 22, and an overall record of 41-29. San Francisco has struggled in their recent matchups against the Dodgers, going 1-2.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Strong Hitting Against Left-Handed Pitchers Expected to Shine Against San Francisco Giants

The Los Angeles Dodgers have demonstrated a notable advantage in hitting against left-handed pitchers, with a 119 wRC+ over the past 10 days compared to an 81 wRC+ against right-handed pitchers. With Kyle Harrison scheduled to start on Sunday night, I anticipate a strong offensive showing from the Dodgers. Despite Harrison's struggles in June, he will need to show improvement in order to give the San Francisco Giants a chance. The Dodgers' lineup boasts several dangerous hitters who will be looking to bounce back after a subpar performance in the previous game. While the Giants have a strong bullpen, once the Dodgers' hitters get going, they can be difficult to contain. San Francisco will rely on a strong outing from Harrison and their lineup will need to capitalize on early opportunities against Dustin May, as they have posted solid wRC+ numbers against both right-handed and left-handed pitchers in recent days.
