How far will Dodgers starters go in big series against Giants? When the 2016 schedule was released, I'm sure we all looked at this weekend, saw the Dodgers visiting the Giants and thought it would be wild if they were playing head to head for the National League West. The Giants have won each of the past four three-game series they have played against the Dodgers. The Dodgers are playing for home-field advantage in their Division Series against the Nationals. The most fascinating aspect of the series at AT&T Park is how Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will use his regulars and pitchers. Will Rich Hill, Clayton Kershaw and Kenta Maeda be on strict pitch counts? Or will Roberts do all in his power to knock the Giants out of the postseason, which is almost a divine responsibility in this rivalry? Madison Bumgarner takes the ball six days after he allowed three homers and five runs in San Diego, 11 days after he blanked the Dodgers for seven innings then did not pitch the eighth after his dustup with Yasiel Puig. [...] there has been much conversation in San Francisco about the controversial ending to Thursday night's Cardinals-Reds game. Yadier Molina hit what should have been a ground-rule double in the ninth inning, but the umps did not see it bounce off a fence over the home-run wall and back onto the field. Matt Carpenter scored the winning run on the play when he should have been sent back to third. Had they gone 34-35 they would have 91 wins, same as the Dodgers, and would have popped Champagne corks by now for reaching the postseason.
