Los Angeles at San Francisco

The Los Angeles Dodgers are just two games shy of having the best record in the NL, which carries home field advantage in the playoffs. The Dodgers' pitching has been sparkling, and unblemished over the last two games with a pair of shutouts. The good pitching is deep, and tonight Hyun-Jin Ryu steps to the mound with his 13-7 mark on the season, backed by an ERA of 3.03. Matt Cain has had a disappointing season at 8-9 and his ERA remains above 4 for the season. He has faced the Dodgers 27 times in his career, and owns a 5-9 mark against them, so his success has been limited. The Giants' offense has been troublesome, producing just 5 runs in their last 40 innings, and the Dodgers own 21 shutouts on the season, making for a live dog here. Go with the Dodgers.
