The skidding Dodgers (92-51), after dropping 10 consecutive games, have headed north for three games with the Giants (56-89). The Dodgers may be a historically bad 1-15 in their past 16 games, but the Giants, whose .386 winning percentage is the second-worst in baseball, are 4-12 in their past 16 games, which is also not great. The Giants haven’t been above .500 all season, and remain 37 games back of Los Angeles.
In spite of all this, the season series between the two teams is close, with the Dodgers barely holding the advantage at 7-6.
