Although they are rivals, the current situation has changed for both teams. While the Los Angeles Dodgers is firmly at the top of the Western Division, San Francisco is ranked fourth with an 11.5 game gap. Although the team lost consecutive wins, the key is whether San Francisco, which has been on the rise at home, can regain its status as a rival against the Dodgers.
Dodgers is leading the way in recent years, but historically, the two teams have been fiercely competing. In a total of 2,578 games including this season, Dodgers had 1,278 wins, San Francisco had 1,283 wins, and there were 17 draws. Dodgers is leading Dodgers with 42 wins and 25 losses in recent four years, however. Attention is focusing on how San Francisco, which has been weak against Dodgers for years, will fare in this showdown.
Meanwhile, Ohtani, who is playing as a leadoff due to Mookie Betts’ injury, is having a phenomenal June. As of Korean time on Friday, he is ranking first in batting average (0.322), and is flying fast with No. 1 in home runs (25), No. 1 in OPS (1.045), and No. 2 in RBIs in the National League. As a superstar, he is also breaking team records. He has posted RBIs in 10 consecutive games. This is the new record for a Dodgers player to have RBIs in a game in a single season. In addition, he had hit the leadoff homerun twice in the top of the first inning in three consecutive games against the Chicago White Sox, showing impressive batting performance.
Along with Ohtani’s run, other Dodgers players are also showing off their amazing performance. Gavin Stone has won the Dodgers rookie shutout for the first time in 11 years since Ryu Hyun-jin in 2013 and has won four consecutive games. He has a formidable pace of eight wins and two losses in recent 10 games. He is also very strong in away games, with 26 wins and 15 losses. San Francisco has also won three consecutive games, signaling a rebound. Logan Webb and Eric Miller will lead the team to win the rivalry game. 파워볼사이트
