Dodgers vs Giants live stream is here: How to watch the NLDS Game 1 online

Tonight's Dodgers vs Giants live stream adds the most recent chapter to this famous rivalry as these teams meet for the first time EVER in the postseason. During their 19 regular season games, the Giants just edged the Dodgers winning 10. Of all the runs scored in those 19 games, their run differential was just two. If that’s any indication to what this series has in store for fans then this MLB live stream should go down to the wire. 

The Dodgers and Giants rivalry is one of the best in baseball and when two teams that don’t like each other square off in the postseason, it only makes things more interesting. This season only added fuel to their historic fire. The Dodgers (106-56) had the second-best record in all of baseball but had to play in the Wild Card round of the playoffs because the team with the best record in baseball happened to be their division rival, the Giants (107-55) who finished just one game better than them.

The Giants give the ball to 24-year-old Logan Webb for game one. Webb went 11-3 over 26 starts this season with a 3.03 ERA. He also made three starts against the Giants this year and held them to just four earned runs over 16 innings. At home this season, Webb has posted a microscopic 1.96 ERA in 12 starts. The Dodgers look to Walker Buehler for game one. The two-time all-star put together another great year for L.A. going 16-4 with a 2.47 ERA.

Los Angeles comes into this series after an incredible walk-off wild card win over the Cardinals.  L.A.’s Chris Taylor stepped to the plate with a runner on and two outs in the bottom of the ninth tied at one. Taylor then belted the game winning two-run homer over the left field wall at Dodger Stadium.

Down in the dugouts, Dave Roberts looks to guide the Dodgers back to their fourth World Series appearance since he took over as manager in 2016 and their second straight Championship. Across the diamond will be the guy Roberts beat out for the Dodgers job in 2016, Giants’ manager Gabe Kapler. In his just his second year with San Francisco Kapler helped push the Giants to their first 100-win season since 2003. 

The Dodgers are 1.5-run favorites against the Giants. The over/under is 7 runs.
