The Giants will pitch LHP Sean Manaea (6-6, 4.82). The Dodgers are undecided on their starter, and likely will go with an opener. This series marks the final one between the two teams this season. The Dodgers are headed for the postseason for the 11th straight season while the Giants are still, barely, in the wild card race.
