The series finale between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers is on ESPN, which seems silly right now. But you can understand why it was initially put there: the September contests between these two last year were tense and fantastic.
It’s not the case this year, with the Dodgers a few leagues ahead of the Giants. Still, it’s an opportunity to Beat LA — the final opportunity of the year to Beat LA — and that’s always exciting and noteworthy.
The Giants are giving the ball to righty Alex Cobb, who enters the game with a 6-6 record, a 3.48 ERA, a 2.88 FIP, and 133 strikeouts to 37 walks in 129.1 innings. He pitched 7 scoreless innings against the Atlanta Braves in his last outing. He’s faced the Dodgers 3 times this year, and has the following line: 16.1 innings, 19 hits, 8 walks, 10 runs, and 18 strikeouts.
For the Dodgers it’s lefty Andrew Heaney, who has a 3-2 record, a 2.84 ERA, a 4.11 FIP, and 84 strikeouts to 15 walks in 57 innings. His worst outing of the year came 2 starts ago against the Giants, when they scored 6 runs against him in 5.1 innings.
