"Future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw is officially calling it a career after the 2025 season, and Friday evening marks what will be the final home start of his storied career. In somewhat fitting fashion, it'll come against the Dodgers' archrivals from San Francisco - and not only that, but against another former Cy Young winner. The Giants will sound left-hander to the mound opposite Kershaw as the two teams clash in a series that carries major playoff implications."
"The American League West is the most tightly contested division in baseball. Yesterday's Mariners win bumped them to 84-69 on the season - the same mark held by the Astros. The M's now travel to Houston for a three-game series that could very well determine the winner of the division, and it kicks off with a must-see matchup between each club's best starter of the 2025 season. Seattle sends righty (3.02 ERA, 26.8 K%, 4.9 BB%, 181 2/3 innings pitched) to the mound against Houston righty Hunter Brown (2.27 ERA, 28.2 K%, 7.8 BB%, 174 1/3 innings pitched)."
Clayton Kershaw has announced his retirement after the 2025 season, and Friday evening will be his final scheduled home start at Dodger Stadium.

The Giants remain three games back in the NL Wild Card chase with nine games remaining. Fans are expected to give Kershaw a celebratory sendoff honoring his career achievements. The AL West race features a critical Mariners-Astros series in Houston that begins with an aces matchup that could decide the division.
