SF has dropped their last 5 opening games of a series and for some reason struggle on Thursday's. Weird, they are 1-10 their last 11 Thursday games.

LA went into the All Star game break riding a four-game winning streak and has won 11 of the last 12. They are second in runs scored and 5th in team batting average, while on the mound the Dodgers are first in team ERA and third in batting average allowed. The Dodgers have won 37 of the last 52 against a team from the National League West and have won 49 of the last 64 played at home.
San Francisco has struggled with injuries with shortstop Brandon Crawford out indefinitely as well as second baseman Tommy La Stella.

Take LA here on Thursday night.
