The Los Angeles Dodgers wrap up a road trip at Oracle Park on Sunday, September 27, facing their longtime NL West rival San Francisco Giants at 3:05 PM ET. San Francisco will hand the ball to right-hander Carson Seymour, while the Dodgers have yet to announce a confirmed starter. With the regular season winding down, every game carries real weight in the standings, and a rivalry matchup at one of baseball's most iconic venues makes this one worth circling.
Pitching Matchup: Carson Seymour Starts for San Francisco
The Giants will send Carson Seymour to the mound for this late-September contest. Seymour has worked his way into San Francisco's rotation, and facing a Dodgers lineup at this point in the season is a genuine test. Without full season ERA and win-loss data available, the focus falls on what he does Sunday — can he limit a Los Angeles offense that has no shortage of threats from top to bottom?
The Dodgers' starter remains unannounced heading into this preview. Manager Dave Roberts has options, and in a late-season road game against a division rival, the choice will matter. Watch for any late lineup or pitching news closer to first pitch.
Keys to Watch for the Dodgers at Oracle Park
- Dodgers offense vs. a young arm: Los Angeles will look to work counts early and put pressure on Seymour. Getting into the Giants bullpen is always a priority, especially on the road.
- Starter announcement: The Dodgers' pitching decision is the biggest unknown heading into Sunday. Whoever Roberts tabbed will set the tone for how Los Angeles approaches this one.
- Bullpen depth: With the regular season in its final days, both clubs are managing workloads carefully. Late-inning leverage situations will test each team's relief corps.
- Rivalry edge: Dodgers-Giants games carry a different energy regardless of standings. Oracle Park crowds push their team, and Los Angeles will need to handle the road environment cleanly.

Prediction
This is a rivalry game in the final stretch of the regular season, and the Dodgers are equipped to win on the road regardless of venue. A lot hinges on who Los Angeles sends to the mound, but the offense should generate enough against Seymour to keep this competitive. Slight edge to the Dodgers, 4-2, if they get a quality start from whoever Roberts rolls out Sunday afternoon.
