San Francisco vs Los Angeles Dodgers: One mistake could decide the outcome of the game and the series

At Oracle Park in San Francisco, the local Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers will decide the fate of a trip to the National League finals. Who will be stronger and clinch the right to fight for a spot in the World Series with Atlanta? There are several betting options at once.

San Francisco have two firsts in the series

For the Giants, the series with the Dodgers have been unstable. In the first match, Gabe Kapler’s team confidently defeated the tired after a wild-card game, the Dodgers 4-0. However, in the second game, they failed to extend their lead, losing 2-9. Then, after the series moved to LA in the third game, San Francisco pulled out a hard-fought 1-0 win. But in the fourth game, they fell again, 2-7. The Giants play at home and should have an advantage. But it’s too easy for the Dodgers to win when they need to.

Logan Webb is tasked with getting a shot at the conference finals. The 24-year-old player had a perfect first game of the series, pitching 7.2 innings, striking out ten, and allowing no runs. What’s more, Webb made three starts against the Dodgers in the regular season, and San Francisco eventually won all three games.

The Dodgers could have closed out the series already

Dave Roberts’ team could not win the first game of the series against the Giants, as the Dodgers had a very tough match a day earlier in the wild-card round against St. Louis. But at the end of the second game at Oracle Park, there wasn’t much doubt about LA’s superiority. 1-1, and it seemed that the reigning champion would have no trouble bringing the game to a logical conclusion on their home field. But San Fran held on to a minimal advantage in the third game and regained the home-field advantage. This was the key game in the series so far. The Giants’ heroic 1-0 win essentially wiped out the Dodgers’ two resounding victories. The fifth game was a special story, but the background had nothing to do with it.

The main game of the season on the pitching mound is entrusted to Julio Urias to open. The 25-year-old Mexican pitched in the second game of the series, where his team secured a solid 9-2 victory, and the pitcher himself allowed only one run in 5 innings.
