The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants meet for the first time this season, starting this NL West rivalry on Tuesday.

Two of the biggest rivals in MLB face-off for the first time in 2026 when the San Francisco Giants host the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night. After a tough start to the season, the Giants are starting to turn it around a bit. They won three in a row recently and are coming off a series win against the Washington Nationals. San Francisco is still 9-13, though, with a 3-7 record at home. The Giants are going for their fourth win in their last five games. They are just a 0.5 games above the Colorado Rockies for last place in the National League West. The Dodgers, meanwhile, are the best team in baseball with a 16-6 record, but are coming off a surprising split series in four games against the Colorado Rockies. LA dominated in the opener and closer, but lost back-to-back games in the middle of the series in Denver. The Dodgers improved to 7-3 on the road to start the season with a 12-3 rout on Monday to tie the series. LA is seven games ahead of San Francisco entering this series.

The Dodgers avoided losing the four-game series on Monday against the Rockies on the shoulders of Max Muncy. The LA slugger went 4-for-4 with two homers and he scored four times. The entire Dodgers offense was clicking with the team hitting five homers. Colorado scored first, but LA starter Justin Wrobleski settled down to get the win after only giving up a run across seven innings. The LA pitching staff didn’t give up another run until the eighth inning. The Dodgers will start Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the opener. He is off to a great start with a 2-1 record and a 2.10 ERA.

The Giants fell short in their finale against the Nationals on Sunday, getting shutout 3-0. The Giants had more hits than the Nationals, but they couldn’t cross the plate. Curtis Mead hit a two-run homer, with Washington scoring all of its runs in the fifth inning. Robbie Ray was tabbed with the loss, giving up all three runs in six innings. San Francisco will have a good option to go up against Yamamoto tonight in Landen Roupp. The righty is off to a great start with a 3-1 record in four starts with a 2.38 ERA.
