The Dodgers will enter this weekend’s three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium exactly 1.0 games ahead of … the San Francisco Giants.

Although the Dodgers will have 90 regular-season games remaining following Sunday’s series finale against The Hated Ones, the significance of this series cannot be understated or ignored.
In other words:

(LA Dodgers)
Play Ball!

I think this series is much more important to the Giants than the Dodgers — with the caveat that the Dodgers do not get swept.
With so many terrific players getting closer to returning (Glasnow, Snell, Sasaki, Sheehan for example), the Dodgers will have an incredibly strong roster for second half of the season. Neither the Giants, Padres, nor Dbacks have the wherewithal to strengthen their respective rosters to the same degree as the Dodgers.
