On the other side, Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers has shown why he's a force to be reckoned with. Despite a challenging series with a .250 batting average in one of the past games, Freeman's ability to drive in runs and his overall presence at first base cannot be overlooked. His performance, particularly a home run that contributed to his OPS of 1.25 in another game, highlights his threat to opposing pitchers.


The Giants have seen commendable performances from other players as well. Brett Wisely stands out with an impressive OPS of 1.75 in one game and an overall .500 batting average across three games. His prowess on both offense and defense adds depth to the Giants' lineup.

The Giants' pitching staff will also play a crucial role, with Logan Webb's ERA of 2.571 from one game indicating his potential effectiveness against the Dodgers' lineup.
