- The Dodgers have won six of the past eight games against the Giants.
- The Giants went 8-2 when welcoming the Dodgers to AT&T Park last season.
Left-hander Alex Wood will get the start, but the youngster has struggled since being acquired by the Dodgers. Wood, who joined the team midway through last season in a trade with the Atlanta Braves, posted a 3.84 ERA while walking 23 batters in 12 starts for the Dodgers. Wood also struggled through Spring Training with an ERA of 7.13.
The Giants will start Jake Peavy, who has always confounded Dodgers’ batters with the righty going 14-3 with a 2.38 ERA lifetime against LA. Peavy missed several months last season and struggled upon his return, but the veteran allowed just eight runs through his final six starts of the year.
