The Dodgers take 97 wins into their final regular-season series in San Francisco and already have an MLB-best 61 victories against teams below .500. They went 36-36 in 72 games against winning teams, with no regular-season matchups against them left.
Los Angeles is 6-4 against San Francisco this season and needs a sweep to at least match its success against the Giants in each of the previous two campaigns. The Dodgers last lost a season series to San Francisco in 2021, the year the Giants ended Los Angeles' run of NL West titles.
Tarik Skubal is scheduled to start Friday's opener at Oracle Park, which begins at 7:15 p.m. on SportsNet LA. In his most recent start against the Giants, he allowed four runs in five innings; the Dodgers have won six straight games with him on the mound.
