The Dodgers are starting Walker Buehler (RHP), who is 3-0 on the season with a 2.78 ERA, 3.35 FIP, .261 wOBA, K% of 26.6%, BB% of 3.6%, 88.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.89 WHIP in 58.1 innings pitched.
The Giants are 29th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Dodgers are 15th.

This one for me is simple. The Dodgers have a better starting pitcher, relieving, & overall hitting team. So that's my pick in this one.
