This is a bitter rivalry, and Los Angeles has the advantage of riding the momentum of Wednesday's Wild Card game walk-off when Chris Taylor hammered a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth. The Giants haven't played since Sunday and will pitch Logan Webb, who gave up four runs on six hits in seven innings against San Diego in the regular-season finale. Walker Buehler is 16-4 with a sparkling 2.47 ERA and a .199 opponent batting average. He gave up only nine earned runs in 37 innings against San Francisco in 2021. The Dodgers have won eight games in a row, 42 of their last 53 overall, and they have won eight of their past 10 playoff games. Also, Los Angeles is 46-19 its past 65 games following an off day, 12-5 the last 17 meetings at San Francisco, and it's favored on the road for a reason. Take the Dodgers.
