Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers are taking on the San Francisco Giants on Roku Sports as part of the MLB Sunday Leadoff Series. Ohtani, who has the third most home runs in MLB this season with 32, will look to help the Dodgers get a stronger hold on the NL West division race. Though the Giants acquired Rafael Devers for a reason, he is expected to miss this game and be placed on the injured list.
Since his arrival in San Francisco, Devers has two home runs and is batting .214 in 24 games. Aside from the star power, this series is about which team will get the edge in the NL West standings. The Dodgers have a five-game lead on the Giants ahead of Sunday’s series finale.
