Rivals Face to Face


The game between the big rivals Giants and Dodgers will be taking place tonight! It's an exciting day for Giants and Dodgers fans. There has been a long rivalry between these two, but hopefully today there will be no violence between the fans. As you all know I'm a huge Giants fan so of course I have my Beat LA shirt on today, cheering for my wonderful Giants. But, i think every fan being a Giants fan or Dodgers fan loves their team and thinks they are the best. I want to leave my opinion behind and show some statistics from both teams so we know what to expect tonight.

Today the starting pitchers will be SF Giants' Matt Cain and LA Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw. Matt Cain is 3-2 and last time Dodgers scored on him was September 4th 2010, 16th innings ago. Clayton Kershaw is 5-3 this season.

For the team as a whole, Giants are ranked No. 8 in the National League and tied at 1st with Colorado in the West. Dodgers are No.9 in the National League and are right below the Giants and Rockies in the West.

Giants is National League's No. 3 in defense on the road, allowing 3.7 runs per game. Dodgers are No. 15 in the National League at home, scoring 2.7 runs per game. Giants are 22-19 and Dodgers are 20-23.

Well, those are just some numbers to get an idea of what to expect tonight. Hopefully it will be a good game and may the best team win!! (Let's Go Giants!!)
