The historic Dodgers-Giants rivalry continues as Los Angeles (with one of MLB's best records) faces San Francisco at Oracle Park. The Dodgers won the series opener 8-2 and look to extend their 18.5-game division lead.

Pitching Matchup:

• Dodgers: Tyler Anderson (11-1, 2.61 ERA)
• Giants: Alex Wood (7-8, 4.11 ERA)

Key Factors:

• Anderson has been dominant, allowing less than one baserunner per inning across 110+ innings
• Wood needs a strong early performance to keep the Giants competitive
• The Dodgers' bullpen could be vulnerable, as shown in recent games against Washington
• San Francisco must stay close early to have a chance against LA's relief pitchers

The Giants aim to bounce back after Webb allowed 6 earned runs in Monday's loss. They had momentum before this series, winning 3 of 4 against the Cubs.

Note: Keep watch on the Dodgers' bullpen performance, which could be the deciding factor in what promises to be another classic matchup between these longtime rivals.
